The Cloister and the Hearth Chapter 80

In which Brother Clement and Brother Jerome, bearers of diverse gifts in oratory and piety, travel down the Rhine to England, their sermons awakening the townsfolk with varying tones of reproach and tenderness, particularly as Clement boldly confronts the vice of drunkenness with vivid eloquence. Their journey through familiar lands stirs reflection upon holy duty and human frailty, culminating in a quiet arrival at Dusseldorf where the past and present seem to meet in solemn calm.
