It in cracking ice, blowing reeds
And brethren's laughter.
Seek not the gifts of God, but
Find them in new bread, the
Darkness of dawn and brethren's love.
Seek not the vision of God, but spy His print on bee's wing,
Fish's fin and brother's heart.
Abbot Nicholas and John the Dwarf, cited by Derek Webster
