standing in a great spired cathedral
Monday, June 25. 2012
Watching children sleep makes me feel devout, part of a spiritual system. It is the closest I can come to God. If there is a secular equivalent of standing in a great spired cathedral with marble pillars and streams of mystical light slanting through two tier Gothic windows, it would be watching children in their little bedrooms, fast asleep.
Don DeLillo, White Noise (1985)
