Book Description
Excerpt from The Rod, the Root, and the Flower IF St. Augustine found it necessary to publish fourteen books of Retractations, it is not likely but that I have, in the following pages, erred in some points, at least verbally; but I am the more likely to be exempt from considerable error inasmuch as I make no ridiculous pretence of invading the province of the theologian by defining or explaining dogma. This I am content with implicitly accepting; my work being mainly that of the Poet, bent only upon discovering and reporting how the loving hint of doctrine has met the longing guess of the souls of those who have so believed in the Unseen that it has become visible, and who have thenceforward found their existence to be no longer a sheath without a sword, a desire without fulfilment. The steam-hammer of that Intellect which could be so delicately adjusted to its task as to be capable of either crushing a Hume or cracking a Kingsley is no longer at work, that tongue which had the weight of a hatchet and the edge of a razor is silent; but its mighty task of so representing truth as to make it credible to the modern mind, when not interested in unbelief, has been done. I only 'report the cry which certain babes in Christ have uttered: Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. And far be it from me to pose as other than a mere reporter, using the poetic intellect and imagination so as in part to conceive those happy realities of life which in many have been and are an actual and abiding possession; and to express them in such manner that thousands who lead beauti ful and substantially Catholic lives, whether outside or within the visible Church, may be assisted in the only true learning, which is to know better that which they already know.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... magna moralia I To live holily and to believe nothing is the way of that " broad Church" which leadeth to destruction; for really so to live is worse than to live in harmony with its no-belief; since the conjunction of good in externals with evil in internals is as destructive a profanation as that of the opposite kind of conjunction, a real faith and an evil life. L ii In vulgar minds the idea of passion is inseparable from that of disorder; in them the advances of love, or anger, or any other strong energy towards its end, is like the rush of a savage horde, with war-whoops, tom-toms, and confused tumu

Book Description
Excerpt from The Flower of the Field The "Flower of the Field" is addressed primarily to the "Girl World." Young hearts are like fallow ground, rich and full of promise, but undeveloped and waiting for the sowing of the good seed. Too often, alas, are they preoccupied by the noxious growth of worldly principles! Yet, if the love of Mary can but find a lodging there, it germinates quickly, stifling all baser growths and fructifying into every virtue. Go then, my little book, and spread broadcast this good seed. And as, in the ever-recurring miracle of nature, the tiny seed transforms the dull, dead earth into all the glories of field and forest, so may the germ of Mary's love fall into the fruitful soil of young, unsullied hearts, and develop there till they too, like Mary, become "Flowers of Nazareth." Many of the chapters are based on legends found in the Apocryphal Gospels; others are taken simply from the Gospel narrative, and from ideas suggested in meditation. The verses have been culled from the Lyra Liturgica of Canon Oakeley and the Carmina Mariana of Mr. Orby Shipley.

Book Description
Excerpt from Secrets of the Flowers: Told to the Children As he had something wonderful to say to them, he appointed a certain day for them all to meet him in a wood. It was a beautiful spot. It had tall trees, long waving ferns, and soft green grasses growing all about it, but it was really surprising how much more beautiful it looked when it had ever so many colours in it. The blue-bells and violets, the roses and lilies, the poppies and sun owers, all looked very bright with the sun shining on them, and the little fairies who lived in the holes in the oak trees smiled, for they knew that now they would have some playmates.
