Unembarrassed

John Updike had issues, but he did not "mock God with metaphor," which is more than can be said for many squeaky-clean writers. The world needs more men who are not "embarrassed by the miracle."

"For now we see in a mirror darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known."

reminds me of shakespeare ... all's well that ends well ...

"They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons to make things supernatural and causeless seem modern and familiar. Hence is it that we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge when we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear."
