A Spell in the Library: a Spell for the refreshment of the spirit

In this visit I read you a passage from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader about Lucy in the magician’s study and then I read my own sonnet on CS Lewis from my book The Singing Bowl (https://canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk...) Here is the sonnet: CS Lewis From 'beer and Beowulf' to the seven heavens, Whose music you conduct from sphere to sphere, You are our portal to those hidden havens Whence we return to bless our being here. Scribe of the Kingdom, keeper of the door Which opens on to all we might have lost, Ward of a word-hoard in the deep hearts core, Telling the tale of Love from first to last. Generous, capacious, open, free, Your wardrobe-mind has furnished us with worlds Through which to travel, whence we learn to see Along the beam, and hear at last the heralds Sounding their summons, through the stars that sing, Whose call at sunrise brings us to our King.
