Poem Reads:
per signa ad signata
A Scribe of Kloster Eibingen (Germany)
Ambiguous words, that proud and yellowed scrawl,
That phantom eloquence on tattered pages-
To ponder these, to sort them and redeem them, To copy down their folly and preserve
Their tainted wisdom and their fading light, This was her task, her joy. But when the night Came on, when she had cleaned and put away Her pens, had dined and prayed and gone to bed, Sometimes a demon's laughter, soft and sly, Tickled her sleeping ear, and into her eyes, There fell, like monstrous snow, in steady siftings,
The letters that her waking fingers formed,
Vain figures scattered from a vacant sky, Unending, on the white and silent fields.
Bottom reads:
WR Johnson The paper was made with Katie MacGregor, letters of Hildegard's lingua ignota silkscreened by Ellen Dorn Levitt and printed at The Janus Press Vermont in an edition of seventy-five
