“ [The swallow] is an owl that has been trained by the Graces. It is a bat that loves the morning light. It is the aerial reflection of a dolphin. It is the tender domestication of a trout.
“ Almighty God, who art afflicted in the afflictions of thy people: Regard with thy tender compassion those in anxiety, distress, bereavement or danger; bear their sorrows and their cares; supply all their manifold needs; and help both them and us to put our whole trust and confidence in thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
