Four
fair flowers of the desert,
John,
Heraclemon,
Andrew,
and Theophilus,
Fled
the busy city
For
the empty
Wilderness
of Egypt,
Where
they could pursue
Union
with God
Undistracted
Through
ceaseless prayers and praise.
Four
fragrant flowers of the desert,
Their
bodies fed by God
From
beautiful fruit trees
And
with crystal water from a spring;
. . .
The rest is at https://www.newenglishreview.org/articles/four-fair-flowers/.
***
A prose account of the
life of these four holy desert dwellers is here:
--
Holy
Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema
to the Union!
