Excerpt from Cuthberht of Lindisfarne: Is Life and Times "How beautiful your presence, how benign, Servant of God! who not a thought will share With the vain world, who, outwardly as bare As winter trees, yield no fallacious sign That the firm soul is clothed with fruit divine! Such priest, when service worthy of his care Has called him forth to breathe the common air, Might seem a saintly image from the shrine Descended: - happy are the eyes that meet The apparition, evil thoughts are stayed At his approach, and low-bowed necks entreat A benediction from his voice or hand, Whence grace, through which the heart can understand And vows, that bind the will, in silence made." - Wordsworth.
