      Aber mit der Heimat
      geht man immer herum,
      durch die Welt, dort und dort
      Peter Handke

      No one could describe
      the Word of the Father;
      but when He took flesh from you,
      O Theotokos,
      He consented to be described,
      and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
      We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.
