“In the face of all this, I sit here in a bombed city and say that because a girl surrendered herself to God two thousand years ago, human nature can be constantly new; life always young; and everyone bring not death into the world but the miraculous life of the Spirit: everyone a bearer of Christ into the world.”
-- Caryll Houselander, The Reed of God.
Houselander's book was published in 1944, when England was in the midst of the Second World War.
