​Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures,

especially through my lord Brother Sun,
who brings the day; and you give light through him.
And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor!
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.

 

'The Canticle of the Sun', ​

Saint Francis of Assisi, 1224 a.d.​
