Father and son
". . . . the time cannot be long, . . . number. . . every moment, charging it with meaning. Love in ignorance squanders what love, informed, crowds and overfills with tokens of eternity."
--from Ellis Peters' An Excellent Mystery: The Eleventh Chronicle of Brother Cadfael, 1985
(Thanks to the Lean Librarian for recommending Cadfael, and to Sparrow, for passing along Circle of Quiet and Wittingshire's appreciation of him.)
Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to get some Peters' books at the library for weeks and they are always checked out. That quote makes me even more anxious!
No one ever takes out the Cadfael novels from my public library. I've been very lucky to have had the opportunity to read quite a few of them.
ReplyDeleteWe are so blessed in this country, to have the public library system.
ReplyDeleteSoon after finishing An Excellent Mystery, we walked into a small used bookstore in the town where we stayed, and I found a 4-in-1 volume of Cadfael mysteries for $5!
