“...when the years have all passed, there will gape the uncomfortable and unpredictable dark void of death, and into this I shall at last fall headlong, down and down and down, and the prospect of that fall, that uprooting, that rending apart of body and spirit, that taking off into so blank an unknown, drowns me in mortal fear and mortal grief. After all, life, for all its agonies of despair and loss and guilt, is exciting and beautiful, amusing and artful and endearing, full of liking and of love, at times a poem and a high adventure, at times noble and at times very gay; and whatever (if anything) is to come after it, we shall not have this life again.”

One of my all time favorite books is "The Towers of Trebizond" by British author Rose Macaulay published in 1956. The book tells the story of a group of British Anglicans, who, along with a camel, embark for Trebizond, Turkey, to convert the locals. Ironic, hilarious and tragic, the book begins with a great line: "Take my camel, dear," said Aunt Dot, as she climbed down from the animal upon return from High Mass.
