ches and suspends; reasoning of theologian who convinces; a poem, a hymn from heaven, a canticle of seraph.
 From the deep consideration on man and nature have born the pre- cepts of eloquence that Aristoteles, Cicero, Horatius and Quintilianus bequeathed us; but eldIuence pre- cepts to reflect that scintilation of the divine light that we call soul and makes to reproduce with energy the whole of it's faculties, which sub dues, raps vividly and all at once the readers potencies and senses to- gether; whose goal in none other is higher, nor of matter more sus- ceptible, nor of more eXpediency or proficience, nor of more vast do- minion, messenger of the very Son of God to impart the good tidings to all gentes, in what school may be learned? Will we say that St. The resa was able to imbide herself in the spirit of the geniuses of elegant style of language, surprise them in theirs more eloquent manifestations, and temper on them that which has been surnamed-Sword of the eIo- quence; sword more or less acute the Lord has surrounded to all men in order to serve for his glory, for vim dication of the virtue and havoc of sins reign? If it is not on the divine blaze, in what blaze to temper that clipping sword, which agitates spirits to glorious triumphs? Seraphic can ticle, empyreal epopee of divine ac- tion, of exclusive integrality, of snatching greatness and universal in terest, where, if it is not in the lec- ture-hall of the divine love, wherein to seraphs burn with, may be listened and less learned the didactic of so magic eloquence? To seat right the stones of an edifice or carve them with chisel until the mans figure appears; distribute colors on linen cloth, gladden. the ear with the har- mony of the voice, sound or poetical rhythm, art is it: but the queen of the arts which together embraces all them and through simple flight passes over them, is that eloquence of St. Theresa which represents in sensible forms the ethereal beauty and makes to spring up the image of the Creator from human element; paramount art of eIoquence appre- hended in the atelier of the Sover- eign Artist by Theresa of Jesus who, with inimitable mastery, infiltrated on the strings of the golden harp of the castilian idiom, scarcely at it's six centuries of existence, the sing ing of love of the mystical staff.

 The ascetic stilus of Theresa of Jesus is not suspended: neither in the temple of the glory nor from golden-wire: held there it is in her hand such as the Church represents US her statue: open and sustained the book in her sinister hand; in her right hand, as acting, her pen; fixed to heaven her glance and attentive her ear to the mystical dove. She synbolizes to lis the ineXhaustible of her aim, in neyhaustible indeed even to those understandings whose com prehensiveness do not require req soning To this scope, encouraging us to pursue on the same affair. does she show us that page which is the eternal hymn always new of the elects: MISERICORDIAS DOMINp IN AETERNUM CANTABO.
