From that moment you became the idol of my heart, the never-changing object of my Meditations.

I enquired respecting you.

The reports which were made me of your mode of life, of your knowledge, piety, and self-denial riveted the chains imposed on me by your eloquence.

I was conscious that there was no longer a void in my heart; That I had found the Man whom I had sought till then in vain.

In expectation of hearing you again, every day I visited your Cathedral: You remained secluded within the Abbey walls, and I always withdrew, wretched and disappointed.
