RABBI L. BEN ISSAC MAYIR (MEIR)
French scholar of the 12th century
(12th century)

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
  And were the heavens of parchment made,
    Were every stalk on earth a quill,
      And every man a scribe by trade;
        To write the love of God above,
          Would drain the ocean dry;
            Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
              Though stretch'd from sky to sky.
      - Chaldee Ode,
        trans. from Jewish, sung during the service of the first day of the Feast of the Pentecost
        [God]
