"Out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see.
The lowly will ever find joy in the Lord, and the poor rejoice in the Holy One of Israel." Isaiah 29: 18-19 This in anticipation that one day, God would bring forth from her flesh and through her fiat: Our Savior Jesus Christ!
The Virgin - Poem by William Wordsworth: Mother! whose virgin bosom was uncrost With the least shade of thought to sin allied; Woman! above all women glorified, Our tainted nature's solitary boast; Purer than foam on central ocean tost; Brighter than eastern skies at daybreak strewn With fancied roses, than the unblemished moon Before her wane begins on heaven's blue coast; Thy Image falls to earth. Yet some, I ween, Not unforgiven the suppliant knee might bend, As to a visible Power, in which did blend All that was mixed and reconciled in Thee Of mother's love with maiden purity, Of high with low, celestial with terrene!
