Help with Quote from Surprised by Joy

Postby harpster21 » October 26th, 2009, 9:44 pm

Hi. I'm a first time user. Hope someone can help.

I'm looking for a quote about "travel" from Lewis' "Surprised by Joy". He talks about missing the nooks and crannies of the landscape when riding a train or taking a car. It's one of his little rants within the context of something else. Does this strike a bell? If so, could someone send me the quote? This is for a travel article I'm writing for a local magazine.

Thanks.

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.

Thanks a lot!

this is really good... but I vaguely remember something about "walking","valleys", and "trains". It was a concise quote that seemingly would be good for my article.

If it's not there, then that's ok. It's been 5 or 6 years since I read it.
