Authorities: — A life by Heribert, a contemporary, who knew him, and had spoken with him.] The Blessed Schetzelo was a hermit living in the woods near Luxemburg, feeding on roots and acorns. His clothing was so scanty as to be scarcely decent, wherefore S. Bernard, who greatly respected him, sent him a shirt and a pair of drawers by some of his monks. Schetzelo at once put them on him, and then pulled them off again, saying that he found he could do without them, and that it was his ambition to live without superfluities. The monks asked him if he had suffered many temptations. “Yes,” he answered, “the life of man is one long series of temptations.” And then he told them how he had once given way; an occasion of bitter selfreproach ever after. One winter he was lying out in the snow, and the drift covered all his body, except the face, where his breath had melted a hole. A poor half-frozen rabbit, seeking shelter, jumped into the hole and crouched down on the hermit’s breast. ITe was moved first to laughter, and then to pleasure, for the little creature, numbed with cold, suffered him to stroke its fur; and so, when Schetzelo ought to have been praying and meditating, he was playing with the rabbit under the snow. 1 Hist.
