Malcolm, Thank you for sharing this lovely passage from a book I loved when I was a boy. On Monday I go in for a surgery to remove a rather nasty brain tumor. If all goes well I will be better than ok, but there are always risks. Should I pass beyond Tolkien's "grey rain curtain" or past Lewis' "Wave at the end of the World" know that discovering your channel and your musings on poetry have been a chief source of Joy these past few months. I hope that if I do pass, I can share Reepicheep's trembling joy and say with Theoden King, "I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company I shall not now feel ashamed" To anyone who reads this and prays to our Mighty God and Savior Jesus Christ please pray for me.

I know exactly what Lucy meant by a joyful music to break your heart. I'm not one who normally weeps at a story, but it reminds me of the passage near the end of the Lord of the Rings, "'A great shadow has passed,' said Gandalf, and then he laughed, and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land; and as he listened the thought came to Sam that he had not heard laughter, the pure sound of merriment, for days upon days without count. It fell upon his ears like the echo of all the joys he had ever known. But he himself burst into tears. Then, as a sweet rain will pass down a wind of spring and the sun will shine out the clearer, his tears ceased, and his laughter welled up..." This passage gets me every time.

I read the Narnia books right in the middle of my reversion back to Christianity. They were instrumental in the readying of my heart and mind for a deeper acceptance of Christ as Lord. Thank you for taking me back as if to the moment I first read that passage. Then, as now, I am gifted by tears and, as Lucy said, I am left heart broken. Thank you, Malcolm, for your ardent love of literature. The gifts which God has given you to both write and share beauty are doing good things. God bless you!

Thank the Lord for writers like Lewis to write such prose. But also, thank the Lord for people like you and like the person who pointed this out about the man, to help us see new beauty in the prose we had already enjoyed. It’s similar to when you have read a scripture your whole life and it is beautiful, and then one day you have matured enough that the spirit reveals a new angle of beauty in the verse you have read 100 times!

It seems that Lewis described Aslan's country according to his own deepest longings. The endlessly rising mountains which in Pilgrim's Regress are the heights of reason are not now harsh or icy, but full of green forests and waterfalls which represent sublimity and imagination and sensuality. The perfection of truth and meaning.

@@MalcolmGuitespell Thank you for Williams, yes co-inherence is something I share with him: seeing the beloved through the eyes of God. Amazing how few people understand this notion--like Bernard of Clairvaux, who sought God above all and in all and hoped to help all to experience that rarified moment. The Holy Royal Arch Degree is knowing God without difference. I almost got Russell Crowe to play Major General William Howe (in Taking Command link on my u tube site) who knew a thing or two about this and helped my America to become.
