Description

This was inspired by a fairy tale I read recently that was originally published in 1919. "I can't see anywhere to stop," said Diamond. "Your hair is all down like a darkness, and I can't see through it if I knock my eyes into it ever so much." "Look then," said North Wind; and, with one sweep of her great white arm, she swept yards deep of darkness like a great curtain from before the face of the boy. And lo ! it was a blue night, lit up with stars. Where it did not shine with stars it shimmered with the milk of the stars... At The Back of the North Wind, by George MacDonald Thanks and have a great week!

Ah, McDonald, one of the classic fantasy writers vaguely Christian after the fashion of C.S. Lewis, I used to have half a dozen or so novels by him. I remember a story about someone on an island with the thankless task for helping dwarves. Very nice illustration.

Yes, even deepest darkness has a positive, beautiful, serene side where sleep the promises of a new hopeful day. Wonderful portrait, excellent lights, delicious story !
