"We went slowly, in a line, like the Three Magi. Hayley had read me the poem by Eliot. She was always reading me poems that were way over my head. In dispensing so much incomprehensible music, she taught me that I could fiercely love something I didn’t understand in the least. Good practice for when you got to the really big things, like God." page 60 of 343.

Set in Vermont. Brattleboro area.
