"Saint Ursula: I. The Story of St. Ursula. II. The Dream of St. Ursula" from John Ruskin, captures the saint's legendary tale while reflecting on the beauty and deeper meaning of her story. It's a blend of storytelling and thoughts, touching on ideas like belief, giving up things for what you believe in, and living a good life. The first section shares Ursula's life, focusing on her beauty, smarts, and promise to stay pure, which leads to a trip with other young women that ends in them being killed for their faith by a non-Christian king. The second part looks at a painting that shows Ursula's calm life, highlighting her hard work and goodness.
