"I loved the different voices all singing one song, the various tones and qualities, the passing lifts of feeling, rising up and going out forever. Old Man Profet, who was a different man on Sunday, used to draw out the notes at the ends of verses so he could listen to himself, and in fact it sounded pretty."
Wendell Berry
"Grandmam came back from that distance in time that separates grandmothers from their grandchildren and made herself a mother to me."
