Video recreated in honour of the composer "O sanguis meus, o superinfusa Gratia Dei, sicut tibi, cui bis unquam Coeli ianua reclusa?" "O thou my blood, O overflowing Grace of God, to whom, as unto thee, was e’er the Gate of Heaven unlocked a second time?” Così quel lume; ond’ io m’ attesi a lui; poscia rivolsi alla mia Donna il viso, e quinci e quindi stupefatto fui; Thus spoke that light; hence I thereto gave heed; then to my Lady turning back my face, I was on this side and on that amazed; chè dentro agli occhi suoi ardeva un riso tal, ch’ io pensai co’ miei toccar lo fondo della mia gloria e del mio Paradiso. for such a smile was glowing in her eyes, that I with my thought I had touched the depths both of my glory and of my Paradise  less
