a good quote from a good book

[footprints2415]

"Then the first sound was added to the picture: a soft, muffled sobbing from the end of the right pew. There, kneeling in earnest prayer, his head resting on the hard wooden bench, and his hand clenched with fervency, was a young man, very young, the blond man thought at first: young and vulnerable. It all showed in his counteance, now the very picture of pain, grief, and love. His lips moved without sound as names petitions, and praises poured forth with passion and tears."
