A Church-Going Quote From A Literary Giant

________________________________________________________________________________________________

On my knees in church,
I enjoy a level of introspection
that is granted to me
at no other time
during my week

JOHN CHEEVER

Footnotes
Cheever's churchy quote
appears at the sixteen-minute
mark of the video

Virtually, no where else
in this video
does Dick Cavett
or his two Johns
(Cheever + Updike)
mention "church"
