The Killing Kind
“—GEORGE HERBERT, “THE CHURCH-PORCH”
THE SEARCH FOR SANCTUARY Extract from the postgraduate thesis of Grace Peltier . . .

He was a tall man with long dark hair and a high forehead, blue eyes beneath dark, straight eyebrows, ...and pale, almost translucent skin. He dressed in the garb of a working man——jeans, sometimes overalls, rough cotton shirts, boots——except when he was preaching. At those times he favored a simple black suit with a white collarless shirt buttoned to the neck.

Those who had the opportunity to examine it closely describe it as extremely finely made, with tiny faces and limbs carved into the body of the cross.MoreLess
