“[…] How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.”“O Little Town of Bethlehem,” by Phillips Brooks, 1868.

“All I want is to warn you that a lot worse is yet to come than you can imagine yet, so for God's sake brace yourself for it and try to hold yourself together. [..] It's a kind of test, .. and it's the only kind that amounts to anything. When something rotten like this happens. Then you have your choice. You start to really be alive, or you start to die. That's all."

“And God knows he was lucky, so many ways, and God knows he was thankful.
Everything was good and better than he could have hoped for, better than he ever deserved; only, whatever it was and however good it was, it wasn't what you once had been, and had lost, and could never have again, and once in a while, once in a long time, you remembered, and knew how far you were away, and it hit you hard enough, that little while it lasted, to break your heart.” -

“How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. So far, so much between, you can never go home again. You can go home, it's good to go home, but you never really get all the way home again in your life. And what's it all for? All I tried to be, all I ever wanted and went away for, what's it all for?

“I hear my father; I need never fear.
I hear my mother; I shall never be lonely, or want for love.
When I am hungry it is they who provide for me; when I am in dismay, it is they who fill me with comfort.
When I am astonished or bewildered, it is they who make the weak ground firm beneath my soul: it is in them that I put my trust.A Death In The Family, James Agee

@ConorMahood At 90ish mins: The Night of the Hunter, director Charles Laughton: very southern gothic #RobertMitchum as #psycho preacher, #LilianGish & #ShelleyWinters (fab)& bunch of #HanselGretel kids facing serial killer who is most unsettling, threatening&wonderfully evil. Saw it first on TV as kid, felt hurtled into Melvillian abyss of 'Give not thyself up to fire, lest it invert thee' vibe in face of #fundamentalist #religious #NutJob-ery #Screenplay by #JamesAgee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8dX6ZKJe2o
