- "...by the door, he put the heavy simpering figure of an angel.
...it had come from Carrara in Italy, and it held a stone lily delicately in one hand. The other hand was lifted in benediction, it was poised clumsily upon the ball of one phthisic foot, and its stupid white face wore a smile of soft stone idiocy."
From Look Homeward, Angel
The angel now stands in Oakdale Cemetery in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
