Святой Силуан."Адамов Плач":
"Адам, отец вселенной, в раю знал сладость любви Божией, и потому, когда был изгнан из рая за грех и лишился любви Божией, горько страдал и с великим стоном рыдал на всю пустыню. Душа его терзалась от мысли: «любимого Бога я оскорбил». Не так жалел он о рае и красоте его, как о том, что лишился любви Божией, которая ненасытно каждую минуту влечет душу к Богу.
Так всякая душа, познавшая Бога Духом Святым, но потом потерявшая благодать, испытывает Адамово мучение. Больно душе, и сильно жалеет она, когда оскорбит любимого Господа.
Скучал Адам на земле, и горько рыдал, и земля была ему не мила. Он тосковал о Боге и говорил:
«Скучает душа моя о Господе и слезно ищу Его. Как мне Его не искать? Когда я был с Ним, душа моя была весела и покойна, и враг не имел ко мне доступа; а теперь злой дух взял власть надо мною, и колеблет, и томит душу мою, и потому скучает душа моя о Господе даже до-смерти, и рвется дух мой к Богу, и ничто на земле не веселит меня, и ничем не хочет душа моя утешиться, но снова хочет видеть Его и насытиться Им. Не могу забыть Его ни на минуту, и томится душа моя по Нему, и от множества скорби стоном плачу я: «помилуй мя, Боже, падшее создание Твое».
Так рыдал Адам, и слезы лились по лицу его на грудь и землю, и вся пустыня слушала стоны его; звери и птицы замолкали в печали; а Адам рыдал, ибо за грех его все потеряли мир и любовь.
Велика была скорбь Адама по изгнании из рая, но когда он увидел сына своего Авеля, убитого братом - Каином, то еще большею стала скорбь его, и он мучился душою, и рыдал, и думал: «от меня произойдут и размножатся народы, и все будут страдать и жить во вражде и убивать друг друга». И эта скорбь его была велика, как море, и понять ее может только тот, чья душа познала Господа и как много Он нас любит. И я потерял благодать и вместе с Адамом зову: «Милостив буди мне, Господи. Даруй мне духа смирения и любви».
О, любовь Господня! Кто познал тебя, тот неустанно ищет тебя день и ночь и кричит:
«Скучаю я по Тебе, Господи, и слезно ищу Тебя. Как мне Тебя не искать? Ты дал мне познать Тебя Духом Святым, и это знание Божие влечет мою душу слезно искать Тебя». "

Amazing humbling piece, one I only expect from Arvo Part
Singing this tomorrow night. If it sounds as good as this I'll be very happy indeed.
Silouan the Athonite: Adam Pined on Earth, and Wept Bitterly, and was Heartsick for God
Adam, father of all mankind, in paradise knew the sweetness of the love of God; and so when for his sin he was driven forth from the garden of Eden, and was widowed of the love of God, he suffered grievously and lamented with a great moan.
And the whole desert rang with his lamentations, for his soul was racked as he thought, ’I have distressed my beloved God’.
He sorrowed less after paradise and the beauty thereof; for he sorrowed that he was bereft of the love of God, which insatiably, at every instant, draws the soul to Him.
In the same way the soul which has known God through the Holy Spirit, but has afterwards lost grace experiences the torment that Adam suffered.
There is an aching and a deep regret in the soul that has grieved the beloved Lord.
Adam pined on earth, and wept bitterly, and the earth was not pleasing to him. He was heartsick for God, and this was his cry:
My soul wearies for the Lord,
and I seek Him in tears.
How should I not seek Him?
When I was with Him my soul was glad and at rest,
and the enemy could not come nigh me;
But now the spirit of evil has gained power over me,
harassing and oppressing my soul,
So that I weary for the Lord even unto death,
And my spirit strains to God,
and there is naught on earth can make me glad,
Nor can my soul take comfort in any thing,
but longs once more to see the Lord,
that her hunger may be appeased.
I cannot forget Him for a single moment,
and my soul languishes after Him,
and from the multitude of my afflictions I lift up my voice and cry:
‘Have mercy upon me, O God. Have mercy on Thy fallen creature.’
Thus did Adam lament, and the tears steamed down his face on to his beard, on to the ground beneath his feet, and the whole desert heard the sound of his moaning.
The beasts and the birds were hushed in grief; while Adam wept because peace and love were lost to all men on account of his sin.

That's a surprising piece! This is so special
I appreciate the analogy you create between Arvo Paert and Odilon Redon....
Its a masterpiece.
Here is an honest attempt at a translation (based on a loose Google translate). Be kind:
Adam, the father of the universe, knew the sweetness of God's love in heaven. So when he was expelled from heaven for his sin he lost the love of God. He suffered bitterly and cried with a great groan in the whole desert. His soul was tormented by the thought: "I have insulted the love of God." He lost paradise and the beauty of it, but mostly he had lost the love of God, which implied that every soul was lost from God.
"I am every soul that has known the Holy Spirit of God, but then lost the grace." Adam feels anguish. It hurts his soul. He strongly regrets that he insulted the love of the Lord.
Adam was down on the ground and he wept bitterly, and the earth was not sweet. He longed for God and he said,
"Separated from the Lord, my soul tearfully looks for Him. How can I not look? When I was with him, my heart was cheerful and at peace, and the enemy did not have access to me. Now the evil spirit has power over me, and it afflicts my soul. It breaks my spirit's link to God and now my soul misses the Lord -- it is like death. Nothing on earth amuses me, and cannot comfort my soul." Adam wants to see God again and be filled with Him. "I can not forget it for a minute, and my soul yearns for Him." With groans of sorrow, he cries: "Have mercy on me, O God, thy fallen creature."
So Adam cried, and tears flowed from his face to his chest and to the earth, and all the desert listened to his moans. Animals and birds fell silent in grief; and Adam was crying because of the sin that lost him all peace and love.
Great was Adam's sorrow for his expulsion from paradise. When he saw his son Abel, slain by his brother Cain, his grief became greater, and his soul was more tormented. He wept, and thought: "This happened to me and it will multiply. The nations will all suffer and live in hatred, killing each other." And this grief was great like the sea. Only the one whose soul has known the Lord can understand how much He loves us. And I lost the grace and I call, "Be merciful to me, O Lord. Give me the spirit of humility and love. "
Oh, I love the Lord! He who knew you, he is constantly looking for you day and night and he cries out: "I miss thee, Lord, and I seek thee with tears. How do I not seek You? You let me know You in the Holy Spirit, and the knowledge of God implies that my soul will always seek You."
It is from Saint Silouan the Athonite's text "Adam's lament"
I just discovered this was based on Saint Silouan the Athonite's writings, "Adam's Lament"
