The most beautiful thing this side of heaven
You know when something just works, when the movement is coordinated and flowing and extraordinarily beautiful, when the vestments of all the participants are the right colour and matching, when the chant is practised and perfect, when you know that God is in His heaven, when you know that the angels and archangels and the whole company of saints are crowding in to watch, when you know that Satan is vanquished and silenced and afterwards there's a special stillness and a sort of suspended expectation and you begin to leave with the crowd knowing you have witnessed something extraordinary in form, your heart still thrilled by the experience and you look back and catch a glimpse of the notice board and there it is for all to see: Tottenham Hotspur 5; Arsenal 1
