Mere Apparition
October 23, 2009
“I feel sometimes as if I were a child who opens its eyes on the world once and sees amazing things it will never know any names for and then has to close its eyes again. I know this is all mere apparition compared to what awaits us, but it is only lovelier for that.”
—Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Love the quote!
