“I was the lion.”… - “I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses the new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you don not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at mid-night, to receive you.” —
” ‘Then it was you who wounded Aravis?’
‘It was I.’
‘But what for?’
‘child’ said the vioce. ‘I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no one any story but his own.’ “ - C.S. Lewis
