“‘Aslan! … said Lucy, ‘what is wrong? Can’t you tell us?’
‘….I am sad and lonely,’ said Aslan.
‘Lay your hands on my mane so that I can
feel you are there and let us walk like that.’”

(The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe,” by C. S. Lewis—Chapter 14.)


“As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will take his stand on the earth.
Even after my skin is destroyed, yet from my flesh,
I shall see God; whom I myself shall behold,
and whom my eyes will see and not another.”
Job 19:25-26
