Ancient of Days

I who am the Ancient of Days, do declare that I am the day by myself alone.

I am the day that does not shine by the sun; rather by me the sun is ignited...

I have created mirrors in which I consider all the wonders of my originality which will never cease.

I have prepared for myself these mirror forms so that they may resonate in a song of praise.

For I have a voice like the thunderbolt by which I keep in motion the entire universe in the living sounds of all creation.

This I have done, I who am the Ancient of Days.



Hildegard of Bingen
