Today your hungerings will find their peace through that sweet fruit that mortal care seeks among so many branches.... Look at the sun that shines upon your brow. Look at the grasses, flowers, shrubs, born here, spontaneously of the earth. Among them you can rest to walk until the coming of the glad and lovely eyes that, weeping, sent me to your side.

Await no further word or sign from me: your will is free, erect, and whole- to act against that will would be to err. Therefore, I crown and miter you over yourself.
