More From C. S. Lewis

Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything. but no, that is not quite accurate. there is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place i can't avoid. i mean my own body. it had such a different importance while it was the body of h.'s lover. now it's like an empty house.
Home Mean Sky
The thoughts that occur to me while i’m running are like clouds in the sky. clouds of all different sizes. they come and they go, while the sky remains the same sky always. the clouds are mere guests in the sky that pass away and vanish, leaving behind the sky.
Running Sky Clouds
He wanted her. he knew where to find her. he waited. it amused him to wait, because he knew that the waiting was unbearable to her. he knew that his absence bound her to him in a manner more complete and humiliating than his presence could enforce. he was giving her time to attempt an escape, in order to let her know her own helplessness when he chose to see her again.
Order Giving Waiting
All of us--all who knew her--felt so wholesome after we cleaned ourselves on her. we were so beautiful when we stood astride her ugliness. her simplicity decorated us, her guilt sanctified us, her pain made us glow with health, her awkwardness made us think we had a sense of humor. her inarticulateness made us believe we were eloquent. her poverty kept us generous. even her waking dreams we used--to silence our own nightmares.
Beautiful Dream Pain
And she loved a man who was made out of nothing. a few hours without him and right away she’d be missing him with her whole body, sitting in her office surrounded by polyethylene and concrete and thinking of him. and every time she’d boil water for coffee in her ground-floor office, she’d let the steam cover her face, imagining it was him stroking her cheeks, her eyelids and she’d wait for the day to be over, so she could go to her apartment building, climb the flight of stairs, turn the key in the door, and find him waiting for her, naked and still between the sheets of her empty bed.
Coffee Missing Him Men
When she closed her eyes she felt he had many hands, which touched her everywhere, and many mouths, which passed so swiftly over her, and with a wolflike sharpness, his teeth sank into her fleshiest parts. naked now, he lay his full length over her. she enjoyed his weight on her, enjoyed being crushed under his body. she wanted him soldered to her, from mouth to feet. shivers passed through her body.

Custom is a violent and treacherous school mistress. she, by little and lithe, slyly and unperceived, slips in the foot of her authority; but having by this gentle and humble beginning, with the benefit of time, fixed and established it, she then unmasks a furious and tyrannic countenance, against which we have no more the courage or the power so much as to lift up our eyes.
Humble School Eye
How strange a thing is death, bringing to his knees, bringing to his antlers the buck in the snow . . . life, looking out attentive from the eyes of the doe.
