Jonathan Rée
Sounds... seem to be nature's way of mourning, and in the inevitable metaphor, they are born only to die away. Perhaps that is why, as some would have it, beautiful music is always sad.
C. S. Lewis
- Dedication to The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe
My Dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
E. Nesbit
There is a curtain, thin as gossamer, clear as glass, strong as iron, that hangs forever between the world of magic and the world that seems to us to be real. And when once people have found one of the little weak spots in that curtain which are marked by magic rings, and amulets, and the like, almost anything may happen.
