Joan rode out of Blois bearing her pennon in her hand, and as she rode she chanted the 'Veni Creator. The sacred strain was taken up by those who followed, and thus passed the Maid forth on her first great deed of deliverance. During the whole of the first night Joan remained, as was her custom when she had no women about her, in her armour.
"Rainbow!" for he would translate her name at times, "come to me, veni" and his lips went on automatically, and murmured, "vel venito!" The child came and sat by his bedside and took his hand, which she could not warm, but which shot its rays of cold all through her slender frame. But there she sat, looking steadily at him. Presently he opened his lips feebly, and whispered, "Moribundus."
There they were to sit during the first part of the ceremony, near the high altar, on a platform with four steps. As the Emperor and the Empress entered the choir, the Pope came down from the pontifical chair, and intoned the Veni Creator.
The congregation knelt and rose again, knelt and rose again, turned and swayed to follow the slow movement of the procession about the church. When priest and boys had returned to the altar, a wavering high soprano voice floated across the church in an intricate "Veni Creator."
In front of the victor in the last of this series of paintings is borne a device bearing his famous words "Veni, Vidi, Vici" and it is worthy of recollection that one tradition places the scene of Julius Cæsar's final victory over the Britons at Kingston, not far from where this splendid delineation of his triumphal pageant on his return to Rome has hung for close upon three centuries.
At Ascension the heavy and clear crystals of Saint Ambrose filled with their luminous water the tiny basin of the catkins; the fire of rubies and garnets lighted up again with the crimson hymn and scarlet sequence of Pentecost the "Veni Creator" and "Veni Spiritus."
In the Third Symphony, he preceded the orchestral finale with an alto solo composed on "Das Trunkene Lied" of Nietzsche, and with a chorus employing the words of another of the naïve poems in the anthology of Arnim and Brentano. The Eighth is simply a choral setting of the "Veni, Creator" and the closing scene of Goethe's "Faust."
The immovable earth beneath one's feet! one almost felt the movement, the respiration of God in it. What joy in that motion, the prospect, the music, the music of the spheres! he could listen to it in a perfection such as had never been conceded to Plato, to Pythagoras even. "Veni, Creator Spiritus, Mentes tuorum visita, Imple superna gratia, Quae tu creasti pectora!"
Then rising from his throne, he intoned in a clear and firm voice, which rang through the grand Basilica, the veni creator spiritus. All who were present, cardinals, bishops, priests and people, mingled their voices with that of the Father of the Faithful, and the sonorous tones of the heavenly hymn resounded through the spacious edifice. Silence came.
but Ratsey stopped him with a sharp 'No more of that; the words aren't to our taste tonight, but come as wry as if the parson called Old Hundred and I tuned up with Veni. I knew he meant the last verse with a hanging touch in it; but Greening was for going on with the song, until some others broke in too, and he saw that the company would have none of it.
