Ratty & Mole illustration by EH Shepard |
My main Mole (he says he's more a Ratty) is rereading The Wind in the Willows, and he read me this passage aloud:
We others, who have long lost the more subtle of the physical senses, have not even proper terms to express an animal's inter-communications with his surroundings, living or otherwise, and have only the word 'smell,' for instance, to include the whole range of delicate thrills which murmur in the nose of the animal night and day, summoning, warning, inciting, repelling. It was one of those mysterious faery calls from out the void that suddenly reached Mole in the darkness, making him tingle through and through with its very familiar appeal, even while as yet he could not clearly remember what it was. He stopped dead in his tracks, his nose searching hither and thither in its efforts to recapture the fine filament, the telegraphic current, that had so strongly moved him. A moment, and he had caught it again; and with it this time came recollection in fullest flood.
Home!

I re-read this at Christmas. It's one of my favorites. That particular passage is wonderful! I felt as if I could smell home too.
It's my favourite children's book ever. We read it aloud when I was pregnant. Rob was definitely Ratty, and I was definitely Mole.
