Inspiration for this composition came from the Book of
Wisdom:
Justorum animae in manu Dei sunt,
Et non tanget illos tormentum [mortis].
Visi sunt oculis insipientium mori,
Illi autem sunt in pace.
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God;
there shall no torment or malice touch them.
In the sight of the unwise they seem to die,
but they are in peace. |
