That I might give way fully to my tears and lamentations. … I flung myself down under a fig tree … Suddenly I heard the voice of a boy or a girl … chanting over and over again. ‘Pick up, read; pick up, read.’ … I could only think that this was a divine command to open the book and read the first passage I should light upon.
