The Parables of C. S. Lewis
Full Text
At present we are on the outside of the world,
the wrong side of the door.
We discern the freshness and purity of the morning,
but they do not make us fresh and pure.
We cannot mingle with the splendors we see.
But all the leaves of the New Testament
are rustling with the rumor that
it will not always be so.
Some day, God willing, we shall get in.
Weight of Glory p.17
