My friends returned to pick me up later that morning. As we pulled away, TDH stood on the sidewalk and waved. I kept thinking . . . kept hoping . . . that he would run after the car like the eponymous Harry ran for Sally in the film’s New Year’s Eve finale. But he didn’t. I slumped back in the seat as the car rounded the bend toward Virginia.

St. Augustine wrote:

And therefore it is that humility is specially recommended to the city of God as it sojourns in this world, and is specially exhibited in the city of God, and in the person of Christ its King; while the contrary vice of pride, according to the testimony of the sacred Writings, specially rules his adversary the devil. And certainly this is the great difference which distinguishes the two cities of which we speak, the one being the society of the godly men, the other of the ungodly, each associated with the angel that adhere to their party, and the one guided and fashioned by love of self, the other by love of God.
