does anyone know the source of this quote? i've searched the internet and my quotable lewis book and can't find it:

If these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of `religion.

any ideas?

I think I've seen that one before in our Quote of the Day feature.
I don't know where it's from though. Sorry. Anyone else have an idea?

It's Letters to Malcolm, letter 14.
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.
