Translation by George Robert Stowe Mead (1863 - 1933)
Whither, again, am I to turn my eyes to...
Language: English after the Greek (Ελληνικά)
Whither, again, am I to turn my eyes to sing Thy praise; above, below, within, without? There is no way, no place [is there] about Thee, nor any other thing of things that are. All [are] in Thee; all [are] from Thee, O Thou who givest all and takest naught, [for Thou hast all and naught is there Thou hast not.]1 [...] For Thou art all, and there is nothing else with Thou art not.
