Between it and her hung only a thin curtain; she could never draw the curtain aside- but sometimes, just for a moment, a wind fluttered it and then it was as if she caught a glimpse of the enchanting realm beyond-only a glimpse and heard a note of unearthly music.”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Emily of New Moon

― Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot
