"A Holy Madness To say thou to the sun and call the wind brother; to be humble before a grain of sand and speak familiarly to the sea; to preach to the birds in earnest ...o holy love, sweet lunacy, which of us, seeing a child exhorting a deaf robin, does not bless that child for the paradise in his head? Be praised, my Lord, for Francis, brother to lilies..."
