(Due to a discrepancy in Goodread's idea of how long the book is vs. How long my copy is, I'll be putting the chapter title at the top. Also vague spoilers, I recommend going in as I have, that being completely blind)
8: Moonlight at Belbury
You know, I snagged Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' at the same time as this one, but I think I'll need a book as an inbetwix though. My goodness!

'Merlin had gone and spoiled his house.' YEEEESSSS!
My goodness. Here we see both the ends of obstinate, self-damnation and of nihilistic materialism. And neither seem suitable for any man of intelligence. No, as I sit beside the fire and think, would I be able to lift my finger to save my souls from falling into that hellfire? 'Of course I would!' I think. But then again, so do all who perish the infinite death

15 - Descent of the gods (and some others)
"They Have Pulled Down Deep Heaven on Their Heads" man that is such a cool name for a chapter.
"Camilla, who had been in the rocking chair, was curled up in an attitude which was full of grace, like that of an animal accustomed to sleep anywhere." Ah, I knew she reminded me of Kimberly.
"They have gone to gods who would not have come to them..."

10 - The Conquered City
I...I have no words. There was a quote that I wanted to record but I seem, presently, to have lost it.

9: The Saracen's Head
'He thought that Merlin's art was the last survival of something older amd different - something brought to Western Europe after the fall of Numinor...'
I'm sorry. Is this a Lord of the Rings reference? In my C.S. Lewis work?! What kind of topsy turvy world have I wondered into?!
