“Father Adam!”
But the little man said nothing, did nothing. He stood still holding the letter, and there was not even a change of expression in his face; and this might be, thought Jocelin, because he has no face at all. He is the same all round like the top of a clothespeg. He spoke, laughing down at the baldness with its fringe of nondescript hair.
“I ask your pardon, Father Adam. One forgets you are there so easily!” And then, laughing aloud in joy and love— “I shall call you Father Anonymous!”
William Golding, The Spire

“The most solid thing was the light. It smashed through the rows of windows in the south aisle, so that they exploded with colour, it slanted before him from right to left in an exact formation, to hit the bottom yard of the pillars on the north side of the nave.

He saw how further away they drifted cloudily, coiled, or hung in a moment of pause, becoming, in the most distant rods and trunks, nothing but colour, honey-colour slashed across the body of the cathedral. Where the south transept lighted the crossways from a hundred and fifty foot of grisaille, the honey thickened in a pillar that lifted straight as Abel’s from the men working with crows at the pavement.”
William Golding, The Spire
“Now to be precise. I had seen the whole building as an image of living, praying man. But inside it was a richly written book to instruct that man.”
William Golding, The Spire
“He was laughing, chin up, and shaking his head. God the Father was exploding in his face with a glory of sunlight through painted glass, a glory that moved with his movements to consume and exalt Abraham and Isaac and then God again.”
William Golding, The Spire
“Söyleyecek başka şeyleri yoktu, ama ikisi de hiçbir şeyin çözüme kavuşmadığını biliyordu.”
William Golding, The Spire
“Sen de en az benim kadar iyi biliyorsun, hayat katlanılmaz uzunlukta, gelgelelim katlanmak zorundayız.”
William Golding, The Spire
“Sen de en az benim kadar iyi biliyorsun, hayat katlanılmaz uzunlukta, gelgelelim katlanmak zorundayız”
