C. S. Lewis – The Discarded Image
At Luna we cross in our descent the great frontier which I have so often had to mention; from aether to air, from heaven to nature, from the realm of gods (or angels) to that of daemons, from the realm of necessity to that of contingence, from the incorruptible to the corruptible. Unless this great divide is firmly fixed in our minds, every passage in Donne and Drayton or whom you will that mentions translunary or sublunary will lose its intended force.
