Beatification is now the first step toward canonization, but at one time there was no marked difference between the two processes. Sts. Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua were canonized within a year or two of their deaths. It was Pope Urban VIII who settled (by decrees of 1625 and 1634) the modern practice of differentiation.

The great artist or poet who failed at school is a familiar figure. Even if a classification is made specially to fit the unusual student, there will be a rub somewhere. A school for talent may fare well. A school for genius amounts to a contradiction in terms...
