“I’ve been so careful my whole life that I don’t even want to imagine what I’ve missed.” Sara realized she was speaking so quickly she hadn’t taken a breath, and suddenly felt lightheaded. “I can’t miss you.”

“Chasidah. Angel. Gabriel has lost his words. They have all fled, shamed to be in his company. He’s left now with only a few, simple ones. They are inadequate. They cannot begin to convey all that he feels. But they are all he has. Chasidah. Angel. Gabriel is sorry. Gabriel is sorry. Gabriel is sorry. Chasidah. Angel. The grievous wrong isn’t as much in the questions Chasidah couldn’t ask. But in the only real truth that Gabriel could tell, and did not. Chasidah. Angel. Gabriel loves you beyond all measure. That is the only real truth.”

“You, yesterday’s boy, to whom confusion came: Listen, lest you forget who you are. It was not pleasure you fell into. It was joy. You were called to be bridegroom, though the bride coming toward you is your shame. What chose you is the great desire. Now all flesh bares itself to you. On pious images pale cheeks blush with a strange fire. Your senses uncoil like snakes awakened by the beat of the tambourine. Then suddenly you’re left all alone with your body that can’t love you and your will that can’t save you. But now, like a whispering in dark streets, rumors of God run through your dark blood.”
