May 30, 2008: Williams reminds us that Heaven is dangerous - 0 Comments

"ANNE. My neck is small: will the King have it cut?
He loved me--once.
CRANMER. Madam, repent, confess,
entreat; the King is gracious.
THE SKELETON. Heaven is gracious,
but few can can draw safe deductions on its method."

- Charles Williams, Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury, from the Collected Plays of Charles Williams, 1963.
