Love for The Phantom Tollbooth
"As they ran, tall trees closed in around them and arched gracefully toward the sky. The late-afternoon sunlight leaped lightly from leaf to leaf, slid along branches and down trunks, and dropped finally to the ground in warm luminous patches. A soft glow filled the air with the kind of light that made everything look sharp and clear and close enough to reach out and touch."
Norton Juster
Allie and I read this passage last night and the beauty of the words, the feeling of place and the emotion it evoked had me silent in awe.
