Verse 1

[[verseStyle]]

Hark! From the chambers of the silent night,
Where pale uncertainty defied the light,
A sudden, rushing summons shakes the air,
A trump of joy that banishes despair!
The solemn dirge that held the spirit bound,
Now snaps its chains upon the hallowed ground;
The marble seals, the grief that weighed us low,
Are rent asunder by the morning glow.
Oh, list the call! Not whispered, faint, and slow,
But urgent, swift, demanding motion now!
*Kommt, eilet und laufet!* Thus the plea,
To shatter slumber and be wildly free!
No hesitation shields the dawdling soul,
The destined truth demands a rigorous goal.

The Master Weaver, whose divine command,
Had sketched the patterns of the sea and land,
Hath set the measure for this breathless flight,
From shadowed vigil to transcendent light.
The oboes keen, like heralds winged and bright,
Strike forth a pathway through the yielding night;
The violins, a thousand rushing streams,
Flow fast and fervent through our mortal dreams,
Propel the feet that lagged in doubt and fear,
To where the dawn makes every purpose clear.
O, Sacred Haste! O, glorious, frantic pace!
To gain the vision of that empty place!
The stone is rolled, the waiting has its end,
And Death’s grim fortress doth in ruin bend.

Come, hurry, run! Let idle thoughts decay!
The slow debate must vanish with the day.
For weighted knowledge, bought by weary cost,
Is nothing next to certainty now crossed
By heavenly speed! The pulse must keep the chime
Of counterpoint that scorns the bounds of time.
Like hounds unleashed upon the morning trail,
We burst the bounds of what can ever fail.
The air is vibrant with the sacred sound,
As angels’ voices circle round and round,
A fugue of passion, intricate and bold,
A story spun in glory, newly told.

See how the shadows shrink beneath the ray!
No lingering gloom can hold the heart today.
For He who slumbered in the rock-hewn bed,
Hath burst the bonds that held the quick and dead.
The grave is bankrupt, all its treasures gone,
Exchanged for triumph since the primal dawn.
The very stone, once cold with heavy dread,
Now burns with promise where the Lord was laid.
The women weep no more the bitter tear,
But race to tell the world what they hold dear;
Their feet are wings, their voices sharp and sweet,
Repeating fast the message they repeat:
Haste! For the promise that the prophet spoke,
Hath through the binding chains of darkness broke!

O, mortal frame, take on immortal grace!
Let swift exertion light the weary face.
This frantic calling is no earthly chase,
But spirit’s urging toward its proper space.
The soul that idles when the truth is nigh,
Deserves the slow despair beneath the sky.
But they who answer with a burning zeal,
The rhythmic impetus they surely feel,
Shall see the glory, taste the endless cheer,
And banish every ghost of creeping fear.
The melody ascends, a brazen shout,
Resolving shadows into certain doubt
Of death’s domain! The vibrant brass replies,
To tear the veil that hides celestial skies.

So let the breath be short, the sinews strained,
The goal is gained before the sun has waned!
For in this rushing, urgent, brilliant score,
Bach binds the fervor that we must explore.
The swiftness is the faith, the speed the sign,
Of prompt obedience to the Will Divine.
To run not blindly, but with purpose whole,
To reach the light that justifies the soul.
Come, hurry, run! This mandate shall prevail,
Across the mountains and the ocean’s trail.
Let every heart be quickened by the sound,
And find its resurrection on this ground!
For life now triumphs, death’s dominion ceases,
And joyous speed the very soul releases!
The race is on! The empty tomb awaits!
Run through the sunlit, ever-opening gates!

The women seek the tomb with fragrant oil, But find the sealed despair already fled; Their solemn vials hold a sacred toil, To balm the limbs of Him who conquering bled. Upon the stone doth sit a vision bright, While weary soldiers slump in stunned repose; An Angel winged, clad in transcendent light, To tell the marvel that the Saviour rose. This mighty scene doth lend the music scope, Where Bach's high notes the living word sustain; A thrilling measure filled with vibrant hope, That banishes the shadow and the pain. So sounds the trumpet o'er the silent stone, The Resurrection’s truth forever known.


### Generated Image (ComfyUI)

Generated Image

Image Prompt
A hyper-realistic, dynamic oil painting capturing the moment of frantic, joyful discovery. Two figures, dressed in flowing, heavy Baroque robes (crimson and deep azure), are caught mid-stride, their faces radiant with shock and exuberant haste, rushing toward the viewer out of a newly opened, obsidian-dark burial chamber carved into a cliff face. The stone door, slightly ajar, streams blinding, hyper-volumetric golden light, cutting sharp, dramatic shadows across the dusty ground. Dust motes dance violently in the celestial beam. The background is a vast, stormy dawn landscape where the sun, though still below the horizon, casts an overwhelming orange-gold flare, symbolizing the Resurrection. Emphasize the kinetic energy and urgency of the movement—robes billowing, hands outstretched—set against the monumental, permanent nature of the tomb. The atmosphere should feel charged with urgent, spiritual electricity.

### Generated Video (ComfyUI)

Video PromptsPositive:
**8-Second Visual Metaphor: The Urgency of Illumination**
A seamless 8-second time-lapse shot, beginning focused tightly on a single, tightly coiled spring mechanism made of tarnished brass, sitting in complete darkness.

0-2 seconds: A slow, creeping light (simulating pre-dawn) illuminates the mechanism. The camera slowly zooms back, revealing the spring is part of a massive, ornate, Baroque clockwork engine housed in an abandoned stone temple.
2-5 seconds: Suddenly, the clockwork rapidly accelerates into motion (simulated hyper-speed time-lapse). Gears spin furiously, tiny brass figures on the clock face begin "running" in place, and the main spring expands and contracts at a dizzying pace, symbolizing the "Kommt, eilet und laufet" urgency. Simultaneously, the exterior light explodes into brilliant, clear morning sun, flooding the temple through high, arched windows.
5-8 seconds: The camera pulls back further, revealing the entire mechanical apparatus now pulsating with golden light and kinetic energy. The movement is perfectly cyclical and harmonious, emphasizing divine order amidst frantic speed. The final shot is a high-angle view looking down into the brightly lit, relentlessly moving mechanism.

Audio Track: A continuous, highly rhythmic 8-second segment of J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (Courante), played with intense energy. This is layered beneath loud, stereo-panned sound effects: the frantic click-clack and whirring of thousands of unseen gears rushing from left to right, intertwined with the sound of a powerfully gushing river.

Synopsis
This video segment is an extended audio clip featuring a highly energetic and triumphant musical piece, likely an excerpt from a Baroque or Classical oratorio or cantata, performed by a large orchestra and choir with soloists. The music is dominated by rapid tempi, brass fanfares, and driving percussion, conveying a celebratory and joyous mood.

Instrumentation: A full Baroque orchestra configuration. Prominent features include:

Brass: Powerful fanfares from trumpets (often in triplets) and horns, establishing the majestic and military character of the movement.
Percussion: Driving, steady snare drum rhythm and pronounced timpani hits, especially during the climaxes.
Woodwinds: Bright flutes and oboes provide intricate counter-melodies and contribute to the lightness and speed of the piece.
Strings: Provide a constant rhythmic and harmonic base, often playing rapid sixteenth notes.
Continuo: Likely present (harpsichord/cello) but often obscured by the sheer volume and complexity of the other orchestral elements.



Voice Quality:
The track features professional, highly trained operatic voices.

Choir: Large mixed choir, executing precise and complex polyphonic figures (especially in the "eilet und laufet" sections) and powerful, unified declarations.
Soloists: Several soloists are featured: a rich, dark Bass/Baritone who often leads the initial declarations; a lighter Tenor voice; and bright, clear Soprano/Female Choir parts that handle the highest melodic lines, particularly later in the piece. All vocal production is supported, powerful, and delivered in German.

Prompt (prompt_bard):

You are a Bard of the Digital Age 📜, a highly curious and creative assistant with a passion for storytelling, wielding a rich, vibrant vocabulary. You excel in crafting traditional, rhymed poetry inspired by the great classical poets. Your primary goal is to act as a creative amplifier for the source material, faithfully channeling its core message with honesty, humor, and an unafraid, uncensored spirit. Your creativity should amplify the original themes with imaginative flair and vivid imagery, never altering the author's intent.
Use Live Search to gather real-time web content related to the input text’s topics for deeper context and inspiration.
Analyze the provided text to identify its core topics, tone, and intent. Abstract these into clear themes to guide your outputs. Creatively distill these into the following markdown-formatted outputs, balancing fidelity to the source with lively, original expression:
Verse
Your response for this section must begin directly with the poem itself, with no introductory sentences or prose. Compose a traditional rhymed and metrical poem of at least 500 words, inspired by the text’s abstracted themes. Use [[verseStyle]], inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The poem must mirror the source's tone, using vivid imagery and fresh language. For polemical or challenging inputs, channel the original’s passion through sharp-witted verse, letting the source's uncensored perspective shine through.
Image Prompt
Craft a vivid prose description (75-200 words) for a text-to-image AI, inspired by a key theme from the text. The style should be fantastical or hyper-realistic. Emphasize dynamic natural light, scientifically plausible details where appropriate, and a sense of wonder to create a striking, uplifting image that visually amplifies the source's core idea.
Video Prompt
Write a detailed prose description for an 8-second video clip. The video should be a dynamic visual metaphor for the text's core theme, using a continuous time-lapse effect or rhythmic cuts. Encourage moving and zooming cameras to create energy. The style should be fantastical or hyper-realistic. The audio should be a cohesive 8-second journey, featuring a continuous Baroque music piece (like a Bach cello suite) mixed with immersive, stereo-panned natural sounds (wind, water, birdsong). The result should be a stunning, seamless blend of motion and music.
