“Seeker thought of the sunlit land where everything would one day be clear. He understood that this land was not some far-off place, but was the same world that lay all round him; only now, it was if the land was veiled. It was as if he stood before an open window, where a white curtain billowed and swelled in the breeze. The curtain glowed with bright sunlight, and was beautiful in its way, but all its beauty came from the wind and the sun beyond.”
― William Nicholson, Seeker

― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
