The
last two stanzas are quotes from the Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians 3:14-16 which are translated in the earlier King James Bible as: 'But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.' |
| The last three lines of
the eighth staza are a translation of the lines that appear in Book VIII, 788 of Georg Hegel's publication of the Phenomenology of Spirit (1807). Only John (18:1) associates Gethsemene as a garden, and precedes this by locating it beyond the brook/ ravine of Cedron/Kidron that is outside of Jerusalem. |
