The First Voice

“One moment there had been nothing but darkness; next moment a thousand, thousand points of light leapt out- single stars, constellations, planets, and brighter and bigger than any in our world. There were no clouds. The new stars and the new voices began at exactly the same time. If you had seen and heard it, as Digory did, you would have felt quite certain that it was the stars themselves which were singing, and that it was the First Voice, the deep one, which had made them appear and made them sing.”

— C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew
