"We are whimsical angels
+
With traces of wings on our backs"
+
A child of man, therefore
+
I called myself a child of man
+
A child of man, therefore
+
I remained in the world of children of men
+
And forgot myself in mystery-strewing wisdom
+
Tearing off the sacred wings
+
Bestowed upon the clan of Heaven
+
The child of dawn, fallen from Heaven
+
I am a being who lives whimsically
+
"Not only I, but all people are
+
Fallen angels who discarded the self"
+
Seraphim, cherubim, thrones
+
Dominions, powers, virtues
+
"Not only I, but all people are
+
Fallen angels who discarded the self"
+
In the darkness of the Scholastic Period
+
The angelic doctor, Doctor Angelicus
+
�The Book of Thomas Aquinas� too now is absent
+
The seraphic doctor, Doctor Seraphicus
+
�Bonaventure's Angelic Treatise� too implies, implies, implies...
+
"Not only I, but all people are
+
Fallen angels who discarded the self"
+
The Holy Book, Isaiah, Ezekiel
+
Moses, Solomon, the Old Testament era
+
The graven images of the Palaces of Sargon and Sennacherib
+
However, a beacon totem pole
+
Mystical, mysterious, the oathbound body of Christ
+
However, I am myself, a fallen angel"
+
Four wings, four flights
+
Mandorla, you who protects
+
Matthew in the center (human)
+
John to the right (eagle)
+
Mark to the left (lion)
+
And what's more, we possess four wheels
+
Ah, we were born empty and thus long not for home
+
Quiet contemplation existing
+
On the reverse of angelic consideration
+
