And right as men may in the hevene see
The sonne and moone and sterres every weye,
Right so men goostly in this mayden free
Seyen of feith the magnanymytee,
And eek the cleernesse hool of sapience,
And sondry werkes, brighte of excellence.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Second Nun’s Prologue. Just as people may see in the heavens the sun and moon and stars, so they see the faith and spirituality and clarity of wisdom in Cecilia.
