If you like American furniture, neoclassical architecture, 18th and 19th century portraits, old churches, old cars, and occasional pieces of opinion, this is the place for you. “The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.” ― C. S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces

“You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”

Charlotte, “Charlotte’s Web” by E. B. White

Illustrated by Garth Williams

I did not get this story when I was a kid. As an adult, I really love it. I have a draft sermon in mind that would use Charlotte’s Web as a jumping off point: the power of grace in the liturgy.

The smell of old books is…. science! Vanillin and toluol are the sweet and vanilla-like aromas that old books have.
