Just come to an interesting passage so thought I would put it down before I forget:
(about the eldila): "It was in a different place, and approaching their knowledge from the other side that they had discovered the state of Merlin: not from inspection of the things that slept under Bragdon Wood but from observing a certain unique configuration in that place where those things remain that are taken off time's mainroad, behind the invisible hedges, into the unimaginable fields. Not all the times that are outside the present are therefore past or future."
Reminds me rather of the ideas behind The Dark Tower .. what do people think?
"I saw it begin,” said the Lord Digory. “I did not think I would live to see it die"
