I have not now said mass for twenty-five years, and I shall never do so again, not because of a veto or a command, as His Eminence can confirm, but of my own accord, and this on account of an ailment I have suffered from since birth, which oppresses me greatly.

Springtime is upon us.
The birds celebrate her return with festive song,
and murmuring streams are

casting their dark mantle over heaven,
Then they die away to silence,
and the birds take up their charming songs once more.
