Excerpt from Pity the Poor Blind: A Novel
Father lucy, the well-known vicar of St. Ninian's, Poplar, removed his biretta, smoothed some white dust from his cassock, and sat down in his chair with a sigh. He was a singularly well built man, nearer fifty than sixty, gray-haired and of a sanguine complexion, with handsome, very lumi nous eyes, and so obviously in the maturity of his powers that his sigh could scarcely have sprung from any physical distress. That much, at any rate, would have been so clear to an observer that he (or she) must necessarily have interpreted it on other and more spiritual lines - as the expression, perhaps half involuntary, of some moment's tired ness of soul.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1913, offers an incisive glimpse into the lives of people in early 20th century England, particularly the working class and clergy. The story follows a young, ambitious priest sent from London to serve as a temporary replacement for the ailing vicar of a small coastal village. The priest faces challenges navigating the social and religious dynamics of the community, struggling to bridge the gap between his progressive views and the traditional practices of the church and its congregation. The narrative explores themes of social inequality, class struggle, and the evolving role of the church in society. Through its rich cast of characters and evocative setting, this book presents a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of human nature and the complexities of religious faith.
