Hi Carrol,
I have found three passages that are related to your quotation:
Canto CVI has
"This is grain rite
Luigi in hill path
this is grain rite"
XCVII has "Luigi*, gobbo*, makes his communion with wheat grain
in the hill paths
at sunrise"
And CIV has "Luigi in hill paths
chews wheat at sunrise,
that grain, his communion."
I guess it could be linked to the idea of a "religion of nature," to
Persephone and nature cycles etc.
I hope this helps at least a bit.
Best,
Reka
