e vidi lume in forma di rivera
fulvido di fulgore, intra due rive
dipinte di mirabil primavera.

and I saw light that took a river's form
light flashing, reddish-gold, between two banks
painted with wonderful spring flowerings.

Seek the maker of Pleiades and Orion
that turns deep darkness into morning
that darkens  the day into night

that calls for the water of the sea
and pours them upon the face of the earth

(Amos 5:8)
