“El poeta no escoge sus palabras. Cuando se dice que un poeta busca su lenguaje, no quiere decirse que ande por bibliotecas o mercados recogiendo giros antiguos y nuevos, sino que, indeciso, vacila entre las palabras que realmente le pertenecen, que están en él desde el principio, y las otras aprendidas en los libros o en la calle. Cuando un poeta encuentra su palabra, la reconoce: ya estaba en él. Y él ya estaba en ella. La palabra del poeta se confunde con su ser mismo. Él es su palabra. En el momento de la creación, aflora a la conciencia la parte más secreta de nosotros mismos. La creación consiste en un sacar a luz ciertas palabras inseparables de nuestro ser.” El Arco y la Lira”

“He was standing by the edge of a small pool- not more than ten feet from side to side- in a wood. The trees grew close together and were so leafy that he could get no glimpse of the sky. All the light was green light that came through the leaves: but there must have been a very strong sun overhead, for this green daylight was bright and warm. It was the quietest wood you could possibly imagine. There were no birds, no insects, no animals, and no wind. You could almost feel the trees growing. The pool he had just got out of was not the only pool. There were dozens of others- a pool every few yards as far as his eyes could reach. You could almost feel the trees drinking the water up with their roots. This wood was very much alive. When he tried to describe it afterwards Digory always said, "It was a rich place; as rich as plum cake.”
