| Quotation | Today, feast of St. Francis, I am reading a book you would like and ought to have there: Motivos de San Francisco by the Chilean poetess Gabriela Mistral. She is one you must know about if you want to cut any ice in Chile. A very fine Catholic poet, dead now, but very well worth reading. This particular book is poetic prose, very beautiful. St. Francis has a way of inspiring good books. |
