…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to make of the visions at the end of the book. Other than maybe that we don't see everything, because at first Orual just knows that she has been working, that she has been trampled, etc. Only later does she see that these things helped Psyche. Likewise, she doesn't realize how she and the Fox tortured Psyche.

Easier to understand is her realization that because she was so focused on her own plight, she didn't notice that she was "devouring" Bardia and also never thought about how Redival had been effected by events. The remarks about Redival are interesting too because it's not, "Oh, the poor thing was just misunderstood." She still says Redival was a shallow girl, but the point is that Orual didn't even stop to think about her feelings. And how could she understand the god if she couldn't understand her own sister and her best friend?

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

"I don't care if it is wrong," said one of the moles. "I'd do it again."
"Hush, hush" said the other animals.
