The pond at the Portiuncula Hermitage
With their eyes directed toward the ground, the brothers clung to heaven with their minds. No envy, no malice, no rancor, no abusive speech, no suspicion, no bitterness found any place in them' but great concord, continual quiet, thanksgiving, and the voice of praise were in them.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, First Life - 41
