William Brodrick

Ultimately, that__ what evil is . . . it__ something bad without an explanation. Which is why it__ terrifying. And as for mercy in the dark _ well, what is salvation if not a light greater than all the shadows, something good which cannot be explained? It, too, can be terrifying. I doubt if men like Otto Brack, would dare look in its direction.

Sometimes, Anselm _ and especially with the most important parts of our lives _ we cannot share who we are. We can give the facts, as information, to a stranger; but with a friend we want to give that little bit more, something that changes the facts into flesh and spirit . . . and at certain times we can__ do it. Because ultimately we can__ give away our depths: they lie beyond our grasp. It is when we most want to do so that we realize how immense we are . . . more vast and mysterious than the night sky; and alone.
