This is a story of a military man's man who was inspired by a presence outside of himself that slowly led him to a great epiphany in his life regarding love, beauty, truth, death and eternity. Obviously God plays a major role here. The story takes the form of a letter from one twin brother to the other. I found it very moving, and Blackwood gets extra points in many of his stories for understanding those secret pangs of the human heart. I'm not sure how he does it, but usually he hits the nail on the head. With this story, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but those out searching will find something to think about here. ( )
