Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker wonders aloud whether this place is heaven. The question can be read literally, as a moment of uncertainty about the afterlife, or as astonished delight at somewhere so peaceful and good that it seems too perfect to be ordinary. Its wonder is open-ended and hopeful.
