St. Francis of Assisi - G. K. Chesterton - Ch. 5-7
For Chesterton, Francis of Assisi is a great paradoxical figure, a man who loved women but vowed himself to chastity; an artist who loved the pleasures of the natural world as few have loved them, but vowed himself to the most austere poverty, stripping himself in the public square so all could see that he had renounced his worldly goods; a clown who stood on his head in order to see the world aright.
Chapter 5: Le Jongleur de Dieu
Chapter 6: The Little Poor Man
Chapter 7: The Three Orders
Chesterton gives us Francis in his world-the riotously colorful world of the High Middle Ages, a world with more pageantry and romance than we have seen before or since. Here is the Francis who tried to end the Crusades by talking to the Saracens, and who interceded with the emperor on behalf of the birds. Here is the Francis who inspired a revolution in art that began with Giotto and a revolution in poetry that began with Dante. Here is the Francis who prayed and danced with pagan abandon, who talked to animals, who invented the creche.
