Hi,
I think Century 1 Quatrain 2 is about a beautiful simple tree:
The stem on the main node in the middle of the boughs
Of water he models ( mo(u)lds) & the leafage & the trunk (or root)
A fear & trembling voice through the twigs (when stormy weather, howling )
Divine splendor, the divine settled nearby
La verge en main miƒe au milieu de branches ,
De l'onde il moulle & le limbe & le pied ,
Un peur & voix fremiƒƒent par les manches ,
Splendeur divine , le divin pres s'aƒƒied
