Memories

"The years, doubtless, went round then as now, but in my memory it seems to have been all springs and summers. I think the almonds and the cherries blossomed earlier in those years and the blossoms lasted longer; how they hung on in such winds I don't know, for I see the boughs always rocking and dancing against blue-and-white skies..."

--C.S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces

Lewis is amazing...TWHF is probably my favorite of his works.
