"It was when I was happiest that I longed most..."
In this entry, we see a reversal of the usual trend, inasmuch as it is the Lewis quote which is taken from an overlooked masterpiece, while its precursor in MacDonald belongs to a (relatively) well known fairy tale. Psyche's expression of longing in Till We Have Faces, which Lewis considered the high point of all his fiction, has clear echoes of this passage in MacDonald's The Golden Key, wherein Mossy and Tangle, also at their happiest, yearn for the "country whence the shadows come."
