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. 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 naked 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() nurse?francis: i surely do, sir, and i think you must be a wise judge to be what you are. this is the highest court of the supreme government of this province, do you know it?ĭanforth: peace, judge hathorne. danforth: disrespect indeed! it is disruption, mister.
