Nicephora
36 Quoniam retortae sunt, fuerunt et erunt, viae Miraculi.
What phantoms pester on this gilded ark where fleeting visions mock the creeping age! The unrelenting tide of years doth press, as we, like bark upon the stormy sea, are tossed and torn. Can we but find release? Can we escape this breathless, hurried chase? Or shall we, at our own unfettered will, pace out the sands of life, serene and slow?

XXXVI.
We, who the polypteron represent invisibly devote our hearts to sing the hymn of hymns, in holiness ninefold, unto the One Ineffable in might through th’Sailing Stars, that ninefold sisterhood. And casting we aside all worldly care, may we receive the Moon Invincible, escorted by the Admirable Ones.

The Polypterikon
O Moonlight, of all lights most peaceable, unparalleled, exquisite, and divine which emanated from the Absolute, Serenity, thou awe-inspiring Moon! As we have seen thy glimmering ascent beside the starry host o’er lilac fields thee we adore, O princess of our hearts who governs us with mercy most sublime. For it is meet and noble that we sing thy praise whilst endless ages run beyond all time: Unconquered Moon, and Miracle Romance, wherefore existence Thee extol for aye.

O Peaceable Light
Praise be to thee, O fair Serenity, the ever-merciful, the ever-just, above the highest heaven Sovereign: to thee I fly, thy counsels shall I seek. Guide me along the narrow, treach’rous path —the Path of those Thou findest favour with, but not of those thy love hast ridiculed, nor of those whom thy Justice brought to shame.
