sometimes leaving beneath the leviathan we were talking about how every good book has a religious moment the author realizes he or she is just so small the author gives himself or herself up to a higher power the sublime grasps the hand of the author with great inspiration the author begins to write it is the greatest inspiration in one's life the words flow beautifully upon the page it is as if they are come from above upon the wings of guardians the wings of guardians spread widely like the rough-winged swallow worlds are light illuminations scattered in the midst of feathers floating down to earth as birds wheel and gyre above one can almost see the sky above one can almost see the higher power above the sky the religious moment is the true quiescence of the book languor of the beach, juggernaut of building inexpensively after world wars, furiously devouring the land http://www.clc.wvu.edu/sondheim/files/orb1.jpg http://www.clc.wvu.edu/sondheim/files/orb2.jpg _
