"What
is learned in the Immanent Grove is not much talked about
elsewhere. It is said that no spells are worked there,
and yet the place itself is an enchantment. Sometimes the
trees of that Grove are seen, and sometimes they are not
seen, and they are not always in the same place... It is
said that the trees of the Grove themselves are wise. The
novices, the townsfolk, the farmers consider that the Grove
moves about in a mystifying manner. But in this they are
mistaken, for the grove does not move. Its roots are the
roots of being. It is all the rest that moves."
--Ursula Le Guin, "A Wizard of Earthsea" |
