i saw close by me a solitary old man, worthy, by
his appearance, of so much reverence that never
son owed father more.
long was his beard and mixed with white hair,
similar to the hairs of his head, which fell to his
breast in two strands.
the rays of the four holy lights so adorned his
face with brightness that i saw him as if the sun
had been before him.
