The voluntary swelled, it rose, it rushed to its climax. The organist / tossed back his head with a noble gesture, exalted; he rocked on his / bench; his feet shuffled faster and faster, pedalling passionately.
The young girl who stood beside him drew in a deep, rushing breath; her / heart swelled; her whole body listened, with hurried senses desiring the / climax, the climax, the crash of sound. Her nerves shook as the organist / rocked towards her; when he tossed back his head her chin lifted; she / loved his playing hands, his rocking body, his superb, excited gesture.
