“Even the street, the sunshine, the very air had a special Sunday quality. We walked differently on Sundays, with greater propriety and stateliness. Greetings were more formal, more subdued, voices more meticulously polite. Everything was so smooth, bland, polished. And genuinely so, because this was Sunday. In church the rustling and the stillness were alike pervaded with the knowledge that all was for the best. Propriety ruled the universe. God was in His Heaven, and we were in our Sunday clothes.” ReligionUniverseHeavenVoiceChurchQualityGreaterAirStreetsSpecialClothesSunshineSundayStillnessSmoothFormalPolitePolishedProprietyGreetingsBland Author:Rose Wilder Lane
