This quote from C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" reflects on the deep despair experienced by the characters Susan and Lucy on a particular night.

It acknowledges the profound emotional journey that can lead to a sense of calmness and the sense that the world has paused in its happenings.
