by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

our lady of pompeii
charlotte and i attended the 9 am mass at our lady of pompeii on carmine street this morning. it was a quiet and pretty service. by the time we left, the sun was streaming through the south facing windows.
I looked up the church and it was originally an Italian church. I think you can tell! They kept it up very well. Charlotte was so happy you went with her. Thanks so much!
