“The beginning of Christendom, is, strictly, at a point out of time. A metphysical trigonometry finds it among the spiritual Secrets, at the meeting of two heavenward lines, one drawn from Bethany along the Ascent of the Messias, the other from Jerusalem against the Descent of the Paraclete. That measurement, the measurement of eternity in operation, of the bright cloud and the rushing wind, is, in effect, theology.”
Charles Williams, The Descent of the Dove

“How can one bargain for anything that is worth while? And what else is worth bargaining for?”
Charles Williams

“The telephone bell was ringing wildly, but without result, since there was no-one in the room but the corpse.”
Charles Williams, War in Heaven
