The Book of DieselThe Light Before the Gospel“In the Judean quarter, Yael packed a lamp her mother had carried from Jerusalem. Her daughter Tirzah asked whether they were finally free. Yael said, 'A gate can open before a life knows where to go.' Her husband had died in Babylon; her youngest child spoke no language of Judah.”
