"Home! It showed you its face when you sat quiet within it at that moment when daylight was passing to night, but it could only reveal its spirit, its eternal meaning, when you stood at a little distance, just turning to leave it or just returning to it, seeing it at that transition moment when a larger world was claiming or releasing you. It was always at these transition times, it seemed, when for a moment, nothing owned you and you owned nothing, that you saw things so very clearly."
- Elizabeth Goudge, Gentian Hill
