The Annunciation
April 8, 2024
The Annunciation, Zanobi Strozzi; c. 1453
WHERE Eve was pride, she was humility.
Where Eve was assertion, she was surrender.
Where Eve was revolution, she was eternity.
Where Eve was outward, she was inward.
Where Eve was earthward, she was heavenward.
Where Eve was death, she was birth.
Where Eve was self, she was compassion.
Where Eve was shame, she was modesty.
Where Eve was materialism, she was love of poverty.
Where Eve was fallen, she was mystical rose.
Where Eve was suspicion, she was trust.
Where Eve was folly, she was wisdom.
Where Eve was liberation, she was restraint.
Where Eve was impulse, she was contemplation.
Where Eve was confusion, she was clarity.
Where Eve was virtue-signaling, she was virtue.
Where Eve was slave, she was queen.
The Annunciation, Zanobi Strozzi
