"We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." C S Lewis In C. S. Lewis�, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Beavers are describing the great lion, Aslan, to the children. Mr. Beaver says, "You�ll understand when you see him." �But shall we see him?� asked Susan. �Why, Daughter of Eve, that�s what I brought you here for. I�m to lead you where you shall meet him,� said Mr. Beaver. �Is � is he a man?� asked Lucy. �Aslan a man!� said Mr. Beaver sternly. �Certainly not. I tell you he is the King of the wood and the son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-Sea. Don�t you know who is the King of Beasts? Aslan is a lion � the Lion, the great Lion.� �Ooh!� said Susan, �I�d thought he was a man. Is he � quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.� �That you will, dearie, and no mistake,� said Mrs. Beaver; �if there�s anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they�re either braver than most or else just silly.� �Then he isn�t safe?� said Lucy. �Safe?� said Mr. Beaver; �don�t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? �Course he isn�t safe. But he�s good. He�s the King I tell you.� [C.S. Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. |
