He seems to me equal to the Gods, whoever
that man is who sits close
facing you
listening
to you speak and laugh sweetly.
It makes my heart shudder in my breast.
When I catch a brief glimpse of you
no words come to me
but my tongue shatters into pieces, at once
sputtering fire runs...
τὸ φρικωδέστατον οὖν τῶν κακῶν ὁ θάνατος οὐθὲν πρὸς ἡμᾶς͵ ἐπειδήπερ ὅταν μὲν ἡμεῖς ὦμεν͵ ὁ θάνατος οὐ πάρεστιν͵ ὅταν δὲ ὁ θάνατος παρῇ͵ τόθ΄ ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἐσμέν.
So death, the most shudder-inducing of all evils, is nothing to us, in so much as when we are, death is not here, but when death is...
Redemptio itaque nostra est illa summa in nobis per passionem Christi dilectio, quae nos non solum a servitute peccati liberat, sed veram nobis filiorum Dei liberatatem acquirit, ut amore eius potius quam timore cuncta impleamus, qui nobis tantam exhibuit gratiam qua maior inveniri ipse...

For whether the arrival of spring quivers in the rustling leaves,
or green lizards scamper away, the deer trembles
in both the heart and the knees.
