Who are called saints?

SAINTS

A saint on earth is one who knows God's laws,

Applies them to his living every hour.

A sainted one above I have not seen—

Their realms o'ertop mine own, as castle tower

O'erpinacles the sea—

As clouds of heaven o'er a castle are!

As sun and moon above the Mother Earth,

So we think on the saints, as some far distant star!

—Shakespeare's Spirit
