Epiklesis II

Ecoutez les tres
Étouffé, le tres lointain, le tres pale
Gémissement de la colombe du paraclet qui répercute en
Écho le terrible de profundis

Let the rivers of paradise recede to their spring
May their sear bed expel desperate drops of anguish
May these bitter waters quench our thirst
Until the last second of the last hour, forevermore

Vestigia nulla retrorsum
