That is something.
And I’m glad I knew it at the time, because now, in my present situation, now
that I am about to leave this world, I realize there is nothing more
astonishing than a human face. Boughton and I have talked about that, too. It
has something to do with incarnation. You feel your obligation to a child when
you have seen it and held it. Any human face is a claim on you, because you
can’t help but understand the singularity of it, the courage and loneliness of
it. But this is a truest of the face of an infant. I consider that to be one
kind of vision, as mystical as any. Boughton agrees--dixit Marilynne Robinson en Gilead. (66)
