Die Illustration eines mittelalterlichen Textes. 'Heavenly grace had especially singled
out a certain one of the brothers in the monastery ruled by this abbess,
for he used to compose devout and religious songs. Whatever he learned
of holy Scripture with the aid of interpreters, he quickly turned into
the sweetest and most moving poetry in his own language, that is to say
English. It often happened that his songs kindled a contempt for this
world and a longing for the life in Heaven in the hearts of many men.' Photoshop 7.0, Painter Classic
