A review by grimondgalgmod
Holy the Firm by Annie Dillard

5.0

"What can an artist set on fire but his world...His face is flame like a seraph's, lighting the kingdom of God for the people to see; his life goes up in the works; his feet are waxen and salt. He is holy and he is firm, spanning all the long gap with the length of his love, in flawed imitation of Christ on the cross stretched both ways unbroken and thorned. So must the work be also, in touch with, in touch with, in touch with; spanning the gap, from here to eternity, home."

A poetic treatise on God, nature, and time influenced by esoteric Christianity and Jewish mysticism that I was not expecting at all but am wholly here for. I need to read more Dillard.
