I was struck on earth by majestic grace, and heavenly splendour unmatched in this world, such as to rejoice and pain my memory, which is so clouded with dreams, shadows, mists. 

 

 And I was touched by tears spring from those two eyes, which many a time have put the moon to shame, and heard words unered with such sighs as to move the mountains and stay the rivers.  Love, wisdom, excellence, pity and grief made in that plaint a sweeter concert than any other to be heard on earth. 

 

 And heaven on that harmony was so intent that not a leaf upon the bough was seen to stir, such sweetness had filled the air and winds.
