"... is not a symbol but an instance, a 'case' of human affection in its natural condition, true, tender, suffering, but in the long run tyrannically possessive and ready to turn to hatred when the beloved ceases to be its possession. What such love particularly cannot stand is to see the beloved passing into a sphere where it cannot follow."
// C.S. Lewis, on Till We Have Faces, in a 10 Feb 1957 letter to Clyde Kilby.
Not my envious love, but His redeeming love--a new song--shall be my refrain, till I see Him face to face, and ever after.
