![“The [bird's] nest with its streamers was a final unbidden touch: It was what human hands had not brought to the building, and could not remove. It was like love, he thought, this crumbling chapel: It had been complicated, and thereby perfected, by what time had done to it.” quote by Julie Orringer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/85f/julie-orringer-25467_love_the-bird-s-nest-with-its-streamers-was-a_1481825.jpg)
