"The humble <wo>man approaches
wild animals,
and the moment they catch sight of him <her>
their ferocity is
tamed.
They come up and cling to him as their Master,
wagging their
tails and licking his hands and feet.
They scent as coming from him<her> the
same fragrance
that came from Adam <Eve> before the transgression,
the time
when they were gathered together before him and
he gave them names in
Paradise.
This scent was taken away from us,
but Christ has renewed it
and given it back to us at his coming.
It is this which has
sweetened
the fragrance of humanity."
