William Golding. Spire (№ 321580)

Jocelyn came to the layout, in order to cheer up. He pulled out the spire from the nest because the tree was bloated, and held it reverently, like a Shrine. He caressed his cock in his hands, looked at him, as mother to child. The layout of the spire was eighteen inches, the lower half is made in the form of a rectangle, was cut high window and ended in a forest of slender towers, above which rose the edge, thin, without a single decoration, with a tiny cross on the end.
