A beautiful sentence within a beautiful sentence

I plan ordinarily to focus on the written word, but today I also want to celebrate the spoken word of Boston's Mayor, Martin Walsh, as reported in a story by Boston Globe reporter Lisa Wangsness.  Ms. Wangsness' writing exhibits a remarkable economy of language, telling us everything we need to know about the scene and the Mayor's comments in a single sentence.  She writes:   

Mayor Martin J. Walsh offered reassurance to thousands of Muslims gathered Wednesday morning in Roxbury to celebrate Eid, the end of the holy month of Ramadan, telling them:  "I'm here today to pray with you, to support you."

 A great sentence, a terrific quote, and a wonderful example of humanity from a local politician.
