Summary

This quote suggests that the decision to bless a marriage should be left to the local congregation rather than being determined by the government. It emphasizes the belief that the institution of marriage carries a spiritual significance that should be solely determined within religious communities. It implies that governmental bodies should not have the authority to define or regulate the sanctity of marriage, as it is ultimately a personal and religious matter. Ultimately, the quote expresses a preference for decentralizing the power to decide which marriages are considered blessed by God.

Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-room piled high with cases in my father's name; Piled high, packed large, --where, creeping in and out among the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mouse between the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there at this or that box, pulling through the gap, in heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, the first book first. And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark. An hour before the sun would let me read! My books!
