Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Occasional and Immemorial Days
I feel quite sure that it began to press itself upon us when we were little boys, not taking it in that we should ever grow old, listening to our Fathers' prayers in church Sunday by Sunday, How singularly that imagery from the far East has caught on and naturalised itself here in what was once the far West how homely it has grown how perfectly understandable: how charged with a pathos in which there live the Sundays and services of our childhood all that was dear about them: and all that was wearisome or unworthy eliminated and utterly forgot.
