As
Langdon
’
s
excitement
mounted
,
his
vague
familiarity
with
the
statue
intervened
,
insisting
the
work
had
nothing
to
do
with
fire
.
The
sculpture
,
as
anyone
who
had
seen
it
could
attest
,
was
anything
but
scientific
—
pornographic
maybe
,
but
certainly
not
scientific
.
An
English
critic
had
once
condemned
The
Ecstasy
of
St
.
Teresa
as
"
the
most
unfit
ornament
ever
to
be
placed
in
a
Christian
Church
.
"
Langdon
certainly
understood
the
controversy
.
Though
brilliantly
rendered
,
the
statue
depicted
St
.
Teresa
on
her
back
in
the
throes
of
a
toe
-
curling
orgasm
.
Hardly
Vatican
fare
.
Langdon
hurriedly
flipped
to
the
ledger
’
s
description
of
the
work
.
When
he
saw
the
sketch
,
he
felt
an
instantaneous
and
unexpected
tingle
of
hope
.
In
the
sketch
,
St
.
Teresa
did
indeed
appear
to
be
enjoying
herself
,
but
there
was
another
figure
in
the
statue
who
Langdon
had
forgotten
was
there
.
An
angel
.
The
sordid
legend
suddenly
came
back
…
St
.
Teresa
was
a
nun
sainted
after
she
claimed
an
angel
had
paid
her
a
blissful
visit
in
her
sleep
.
Critics
later
decided
her
encounter
had
probably
been
more
sexual
than
spiritual
.
Scrawled
at
the
bottom
of
the
ledger
,
Langdon
saw
a
familiar
excerpt
.
St
.
Teresa
’
s
own
words
left
little
to
the
imagination
:
…
his
great
golden
spear
…
filled
with
fire
…
plunged
into
me
several
times
…
penetrated
to
my
entrails
…
a
sweetness
so
extreme
that
one
could
not
possibly
wish
it
to
stop
.
Langdon
smiled
.
If
that
’
s
not
a
metaphor
for
some
serious
sex
,
I
don
’
t
know
what
is
.
He
was
smiling
also
because
of
the
ledger
’
s
description
of
the
work
.
Although
the
paragraph
was
in
Italian
,
the
word
fuòco
appeared
a
half
dozen
times
:
…
angel
’
s
spear
tipped
with
point
of
fire
…
…
angel
’
s
head
emanating
rays
of
fire
…
