The Sanctifier and bright Lord who is glorious in operation, the dispositioner, the effector of all trans-substantiations, who sets the traverse wall according to the measure of the angel with the reed, who knows best how to gather his epiklesis from that open plain, who transmutes their cheerless blasphemy into a lover's word, who spoke by Balaam and by Balaam's ass, who spoke also by Sgt. Bullcock.

Lord, you are hidden behind so many enigmas, shadows,
dark sayings - how am I to find you?
But there are moments when I recognize you: a sudden excess
in my heart betrays you. - Tasos Leivaditis, Conversations: 4
