And a Sorn vote from me, too.

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

That's not at all how I pictured sorns. I always thought they acted (and looked, in a way) like ents. They are my favorite race. BTW, I finished That Hideous Strength last night. Now I can give myself unrestricted access to the Space Trilogy forum :dance:. Before I had only let myself peek at a few threads so that I wouldn't let my interpretation be distorted and so nothing would be given away.
Then said Littleheart son of Bronweg: "Alas for Gondolin."
And no one in the Room of Logs spake or moved for a great while.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, it's from the second volume of Alan Moore's excellent comic The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (and please forget the awful movie if you've seen it :p). Book 2 draws heavily on Wells' "War of the Worlds" and the opening sequence, which the images Sven posted are from, is set on Mars. It's mostly Verne's and Well's Mars, but I seem to recall it contains a nod or two to Malacandra.
