ABSTRACT
In the darkness, something was happening at last. A voice had begun to sing … it was, beyond comparison, the most beautiful noise he had ever heard. It was so beautiful he could hardly bear it … Polly was finding the song more and more interesting because she thought she was beginning to see the connection between the music and the things that were happening. When a line of dark firs sprang up on a ridge about a hundred yards away she felt that they were connected with a series of deep, prolonged notes which the Lion had sung a second before. And when he burst into a rapid series of lighter notes she was not surprised to see primroses suddenly appearing in every direction. Thus, with an unspeakable thrill, she felt quite certain that all the things were coming (as she said) ‘out of the Lion’s head’. (C.S. Lewis 1989 [1955]:93, 99)
