This is moving story-telling and awesome scholarship, tracing and illuminating as it does Romanes's philosophical and spiritual journey. It gives me hope for those who wander spiritually. For a rebel who came home like me, Psalm 27 and Psalm 84 ("the psalm of pilgrimage") are also dear to my heart. I think of Romanes even now, outside of time and space, gazing upon the beauty of the Lord in His temple (27:4); and of this great scholar and man of letters as the sparrow who by God's grace and after many wanderings, found a nest at God's altar.

And that last sonnet! "My King and my God!" (84:3)
