Translation

"Turn bright eye-pupils." Meaning turn your pupils towards me, face-to-face.¹
"And because of the snow's brightness and the harshness of the reflection thrown back they lost [their sight]."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνταυγεῖς κόρας· στρέψον ἀνταυγεῖς κόρας. ἀντὶ τοῦ τὰς κόρας σου ἀντιπροσώπους μοι στρέψον. καὶ δι' ἀνταύγειαν χιόνος καὶ σκληρότητα τῆς ἀναβαλλομένης ἀνακλάσεως ἐφθείροντο.
