Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Litany (English)
Give me, O unfathomable Love, a grain of solitude,
and I will make of it a fine summer sun
so that sounding springs and eager silence
will teach hasty words the gentle grammar of the South!
Translated into English by Norton Hodges
Notes:
Litany: a liturgical prayer consisting of a series of petitions recited by a leader alternating with fixed responses by the congregation. A repetitive or incantatory recital of prayers.
