Commonplace Book

'The stricken scream of the jive trumpet and belated wail of the jet engine coinciding with the welfare state professing progress is a conflict which will have its consummation, John thought, because there is only one harmony, the original harmony of the body with the coarse earth and the mind with that infinity, now a Divine vacuum, the sky...'

from A Share of the World by Hugo Charteris (Part Two, Chapter 16)
