…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.

You know that tagline from Alien, don't you? "In space eveyone hears you scream instantly"...oh, wait. No, I guess it's "In space no one can hear you scream".

Yes, sound does not travel through a vacuum (I was being silly of course). Then again, we don't know if space in the Narnia world is a vacuum (heck space in our world, as realized in the Space Trilogy, is hardly a "vacuum", what with all the eldils "filling" space there as Ransom reports:-). But even if there was a "medium" for the sound to travel through in the Narnian world, we already know that even just the fact that it is a flat world would require some kind of magic, so it's already there a priori:-)

Wow, who knew my one little post could spark such a long discussion (grins smugly)?
"And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me, Beloved, me who am but as a dog---" Emeth.
And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; But the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them.

Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
