And yet it was my childish observation of those who sat around me in the bare white church to which my grandmother took me as a little girl, that inspired my writing of what I hold to be in no way a sacrilegious play. In those long hours when I sat in the red cushioned pew, my feet dangling over its edge, quick with re strained energy, my eyes fixed upon the bit of sky beyond the tall windows over the clergy man's head; in those long hours I knew that I was not thinking of the words I repeated so mechanically; and by a thousand tokens I knew that the others about me were not doing so either! In every way they betrayed them selves - there yvas no ecstasy upon their faces. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
