...toughness even in tough Trastevere. Hard by the famous Thieves' Market is a district whose bitter poverty made it a hiving hotspot for trouble-brewing Communists, Don Cesare's bells had rung through every feast in the 14 years of his ministry.

"All along the shore, bodies-beautiful, naked, torn and shattered bodies, a head here, an arm, a leg there-protruded like marbles from the sapphires of the sea and the golden desert of the sands, and the sunshine of eternity rang around them . . . For an age-one lonely, solitary, divine and everlasting moment-the full impact of the terrible destiny of his fellowmen struck Falconer between his eyes ...
