The opening
O TRINITY, THAT ART A BANK OF VIOLETS
“Qui per Spiritum Sanctum semet ipsum obtulit immaculatum Deo.”
O TRINITY, that art a bank of violets, Of thy first breath Came the long sigh for death! While Mary pondereth What may the Angel’s Salutation be — Where there is no more Time, in Trinity, The Holy Ghost begets, Breathing as from a bank of violets, That sweetness blowing through the Word By which Christ is transferred From Man unto the spotless Host, That to His Father offereth Himself from the deep spiceries ot death.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
