As per a request upon recommendation to read this book I hereby identify the
location of the follwing passage:

"All Saints was not a rich church. Its front was unfinished for lack of funds,
the omission masked for many years by a grey wooden facade. The simple Gothic
interior was stained by many water leaks from ill-fitting leaded windows.
These chalky streaks gave the stuccoed walls and the carved stone columns a
patina of false antiquity. Otherwise it was very plain, with little
ornamentation, because too few generations of Haligonians had passed on to be
commemorated and too few sinners had cluttered the place with benefactions in
hope of purchasing redemption."

"That also meant that the cathedral was unusually bright, because it could not
afford stained glass in the windows of the transept. They carried a substitute
glazing with a faint green or pink cast, suggesting reverence-in-waiting. That
admitted lots of God's sunshine, and especially on bright winter days with
light reflected from the snow, the whole cathedral flushed out the shadowy
spirituality of the Old World with the honest clarity of the New."

_Wordstruck_, Robert MacNeil approx. 5/8 the way through Chapter 2, starting
bottom page 49 in the Penguin paperback edition

I realize this exceeds the five line limit for an educational quote.
