Dumb as fish

March 27, 2004 by Jan Bear Leave a Comment

I’ve got a lot of stuff to do today, but I want to report my favorite line from the Akathist Hymn last evening:

“Eloquent orators we see dumb as the fishes in thy presence, O Theotokos, . . . .” It goes on to make profound theological points, but I loved the part about their being “dumb as the fishes.”
