Reading

edit

Reading has been an interest of mine ever since I was a little child, maybe 7 or so. Some of my favorite books include:

Columba Aspexit

edit
 
Hildegard Von Bingen.

Columba aspexit
per cancellos fenestræ
ubi ante faciem eius
sudando sudavit balsamum
de lucido Maximino.

Calor solis exarsit
et in tenebras resplenduit
unde gemma surrexit
in ædificatione templi
purissimi cordis benivoli.

Iste turris excelsa,
de ligno Libani et cipresso facta,
iacincto et sardio ornata est,
urbs precellens artes
aliorum artificum.

Ipse velox cervus cucurrit
ad fontem purissime aquæ
fluentis de fortissimo lapide
qui dulcia aromata irrigavit.

O pigmentari
qui estis in suavissima viriditate
hortorum regis,
ascendentes in altum
quando sanctum sacrificium
in arietibus perfecistis.

Inter vos fulget hic artifex,
paries templi,
qui desideravit alas aquilæ
osculando nutricem Sapientiam
in gloriosa fecunditate Ecclesiæ.

O Maximine,
mons et vallis es,
et in utroque alta ædificatio appares,
ubi capricornus cum elephante exivit,
et Sapientia in deliciis fuit.

Tu es fortis
et suavis in ceremoniis
et in choruscatione altaris,
ascendens ut fumus aromatum
ad columpnam laudis.

Ubi intercedis pro populo
qui tendit ad speculum lucis,
cui laus est in altis.

English Translation

edit

The dove peered in through the lattices of the windows where, before its face, a balm exuded from incandescent Maximilian.

The heat of the sun burned dazzling into the gloom: whence a jewel sprang forth in the building of the temple of the purest loving heart.

He, the high tower, constructed of Lebanon wood and cypress, has been adorned with jacinth and diamonds, a city excelling the crafts of other builders.

This swift hart sped to the fountain of clearest water flowing from the most powerful stone which courses with delightful spices.

O Perfume-Makers, you who are in the sweetest greenness of the gardens of the King, ascending on high when you have completed the holy sacrifice with the rams.

This builder shines among you, the wall of the temple, who longed for the wings of an eagle, kissing his nurse Wisdom in the glorious fecundity of the Church.

O Maximilian, you are the mount and the valley and in both you seem a high building, where the goat went with the elephant and Wisdom was in rapture.

You are strong and beautiful in rites and in the shining of the altar, mounting like the smoke of perfumes to the column of praise.

Where you intercede for the people who stretch towards the mirror of light to whom there is praise on high.

 
This is an etching of the Bowles Hall crest. I found this in an old scrapbook, and my former roommate scanned it in. I was one of the Bowles Hall presidents.
