„O dawn, you washed them awayin a woman who was clean.O form of woman, sister of Wisdom,how great is your glory!For in you there rose a life unquenchablethat death shall never stifle.Wisdom exalted you to makeall creatures fairer in your beautythan they were when the world was born.“

— Hildegard of Bingen
