Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Francis Xavier, the Apostle of the Indies "Glad sight wherever new with old Is joined through some dear home-born tie, The life of all that we behold, Depends upon that mystery." Wordsworth. We first catch a glimpse of Francis Xavier as a studious lad, gentle and comely, well-born and well-beloved. An old castle, old even in the beginning of the sixteenth century, was the home of his childhood, not by any means a luxurious or even a cheerful one. His father, Don John Giasco, who had acquired it by marriage with the heiress of the Xaviers, was much absent at the Court of Navarre, and his elder sons and daughters following him, left the place desolate and impoverished.
