Sarah Cranston asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Not a ?, just a fangirl gush :-) I loved the prophecy ending Curse of Chalion: “When the souls rise up in glory, yours ...shall be the prize of the gods' gardens. Even your darkness shall be treasured then, and all your pain made holy.” It reminded me of other words I've long treasured, Malachi 3:13-4:2, https://bit.ly/2PdvP9t - in God, my pain is transmuted to treasure, never wasted. Thanks for the moment of beauty!

Lois McMaster Bujold
Thanks!

That was one of those lines that just fall out of nowhere onto the page; alas that there is no way to make that process more reliable.

Ta, L.
