The Power and the Glory

Reading this Graham Greene classic right now. Had to pass this passage along. Brilliant.

"The glittering worlds lay there in space like a promise - the world was not the universe. Somewhere Christ might not have died. He could not believe that to a watcher there this world could shine with such brilliance: it would roll heavily in space under its fog like a burning and abandoned ship. The whole globe was blanketed with his own sin."
