To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Foetid lust, like a sulphurous flame, deso- lates the soul which harbours such guests.
" Come, ye people, come and hear ; hear, and in hearing be amazed : yesterday the soul was a hell, to-day God will make a paradise of it. " But this transformation is not the work of a day ; it is accomplished in three stages which the schoolmen have called the life of Purgation, the life of Illumination, and the life of Union.
The soul must first of all feel horror in her downfall, and for that reason Jaco...pone has suggested a parable for it : " If the king of France had a daughter, and she was the sole heiress, she would go arrayed in a white robe, and her fair renown would spread throughout the country.
247 THE FRANCISCAN POETS " And now, if in humbleness of mind she wedded a leper and yielded herself entirely to his will, what would be said of such a contract ? O my soul, thou hast done worse in selling thyself to the deceitful world 1 " The soul repents when she remembers her heavenly origin and her pristine beauty, and when she beholds the divine image whose features she preserves in a disfigured form ; and in repenting her tears flow.
