For Narnia and for Aslan!
He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.
This must be a simply enormous wardrobe!

And so for a time it looked as if all the adventures were coming to and end; but that was not to be.
If things are real, they're there all the time.
Always winter but never Christmas.
All names will soon be restored to their proper owners.

Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all these boys' philosophies--these over simple answers.
