| | Candles and Choirboys |
 | | Modern electric light sources have their predominate place in our lives, but candles, and the singular joy they bring, should not be lost to future civilization, but celebrated for their uniqueness. |
 | | Choirboy voices produce a sound that women cannot and should not replicate: the ability to scale the heights without strain, to deliver, purely and without guile, the sacred texts as well as the simple folk song. |
 | | Women have taken their predominate place in choral life, but choirboys, and the serendipitous joy their singing brings, should never be legislated, regulated or banished, but cherished, celebrated and maintained for the edification and joy of future generations. |
