the Red Sea, an Image of the Bride

who knew not Wedlock, was
depicted once. For there, of old, did
Moses sever the water; and here is
Gabriel, the Server of the Wonder.
At that time Israel traversed the
deep, without getting wet; and now,
the Virgin gave Birth to Christ,
without seed. The sea, after the
passage
of
Israel,
remained
impassable;
the blameless Maid
remained
incorrupt
after
the
Conception of Emmanuel. O God,
