Agèd lady sits,
holding her silver and gold —
Anne, Mary, the Son
Anne’s daughter’s the moon,
sits on the throne of wisdom —
crowned in golden stars
Moon begets the Son
who’s fathered by breath of flame —
Both pierced by a spear
Two women, one son —
A motherly trinity
that shines in splendor
holding her silver and gold —
Anne, Mary, the Son
Anne’s daughter’s the moon,
sits on the throne of wisdom —
crowned in golden stars
Moon begets the Son
who’s fathered by breath of flame —
Both pierced by a spear
Two women, one son —
A motherly trinity
that shines in splendor
Four haikus inspired by a gilded wooden carving of the «Anna Selbdritt», a medieval portrayal of St. Anne (****** and Child with Saint Anne), mother of Mary, together with her grandson, Jesus; both Mary and Jesus are shown as children.
