The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing

Quote by C.S. Lewis • c.s. lewislongingtill we have facesbeautyhomefaithdesirechristianity

Curated by Ted Tschopp Source: Till We Have Faces

The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.
