Two realizations by characters from Perelandra, and a summing up. First, Ransom realizes that the patterns are there even when we can’t see them. All in a moment of time he perceived that what was, to human philologists, a mere accidental resemblance of two sounds, was in truth no accident. The whole distinction between things…
Perelandra by C.S. Lewis My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this on Kindle. I liked this. I liked the story (not quite as well as Out of the Silent Planet, but so be it). It didn’t sustain my attention the whole time – maybe because from the beginning, I knew Ransom would return…
