From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Moist with one drop of thy blood, my dry soul<\/em>
Shall (though she now be in extreme degree
Too stony hard, and yet too fleshly,) be
Freed by that drop, from being starved, hard, or foul,
And life, by this death abled, shall control
Death, whom thy death slew; nor shall to me
Fear of first or last death, bring misery,
If in thy little book my name thou enrol,
Flesh in that long sleep is not putrefied,
But made that there, of which, and for which \u2019twas;
Nor can by other means be glorified.
May then sin\u2019s sleep, and death\u2019s soon from me pass,
That waked from both, I again risen may
Salute the last, and everlasting day<\/em>.<\/p>

Resurrection.

By Paolo Uccello and Bernardo di Francesco, 1443. Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence.

A divine scene, and a precise work of early Renaissance glassmaking.
