I love this version of Ignatius' Principle and Foundation. From Fleming's contemporary reading of the Spiritual Exercises, right?
Sorry not to answer sooner--I was traveling and didn't look back here until now.
It certainly is a poetic adaptation of the Principle and Foundation, but not from Fleming, and I'm not sure where it is from. I found it in the "Take and Receive" series of books based on Ignatius, without any other attribution, and I have seen it online, also without attribution.
If anyone else knows, jump right in ...
