Willa Cather Quotes

Before We Went To Bed, Jake And Otto Were Called Up To The Living-room For Prayers. Grandfather Put On Silver-rimmed Spectacles And Read Several Psalms. His Voice Was So Sympathetic And He Read So Interestingly That I Wished He Had Chosen One Of My Favourite Chapters In The Book Of Kings. I Was Awed By His Intonation Of The Word 'Selah.' 'He Shall Choose Our Inheritance For Us, The Excellency Of Jacob Whom He Loved. Selah.' I Had No Idea What The Word Meant; Perhaps He Had Not. But, As He Uttered It, It Became Oracular, The Most Sacred Of Words.
