When man follows the inspirations of grace he finds liberty and peace. In this state we may say that fear renders him free, and that love enslaves him.
~ St Anthony of Padua, as quoted in Flowers from the Garden of St. Francis
Ah, you are beautiful, my love;
ah, you are beautiful;
your eyes are doves.
Ah, you are beautiful, my beloved,
truly lovely.
~ Song of Solomon 1:15,16 (NRSVA)
