Absolution : Romantic Action and Adventure (Illustrated)
By:Francis Scott Fitzgerald

There was once a priest with cold, watery eyes, who, in the still of the night, wept cold tears.
He wept because the afternoons were warm and long, and he was unable to attain a complete mystical union with our Lord.
Sometimes, near four o'clock, there was a rustle of Swede girls along the path by his window, and in their shrill laughter he found a terrible dissonance that made him pray aloud for the twilight to come.
At twilight the laughter and the voices were quieter, but several times he had walked past Romberg's Drug Store when it was dusk and the yellow lights shone inside and the nickel taps of the soda-fountain were gleaming, and he had found the scent of cheap toilet soap desperately sweet upon the air.
He passed that way when he returned from hearing confessions on Saturday nights, and he grew careful to walk on the other side of the street so that the smell of the soap would float upward before it reached his nostrils as it drifted, rather like incense, toward the summer moon
