Truly a touching post. It excites me when a writer is able to express the human condition. Plain words combined in such a way that the phrases sparkle like jewels. Those sentences and paragraphs require being read again just to savor their perfection. Words that alone would be simple and plain, burst forth like a flower with sweet perfume that can only be from heaven. Sometimes I sit back after reading a perfect passage, thinking about the writer who wrote it and their process in making it. Over the years many books or parts of books have captured that beautiful perfection. That 's what keeps us readers coming back for more.
