Excerpt from Flowers of the Cloister It is a fact in the history of Christian art that whether it has found expression under the form of music, painting, sculpture, architecture, or poetry, the Sanctuary and Cloister have ever been its inspiration and shelter. God's truth has blossomed with hue and ray divine where the altar-lamp of faith has burned most brightly. For art without God is a meaningless and empty thing, making no appeal to the spiritual within us. Because of this, all Christian art is touched with the infinite. It addresses the soul in terms of the infinite. It is a very breath, or aspiration, mounting up to the throne of God, whence is showered the seedling of every precious gift and where is found the type of all beauty. The writer of these poems, happily titled "Flowers of the Cloister, " has, as a good and gifted Religious, dwelt with God for many years.
