Excerpt from The Great Refusal: A Novel
HE windows were open to the moonlit quadrangle, the night being still and soft. All the grey city, august with dignity of long association, fragrant with dreams of generous youth, mellow with thoughts of scholarly maturity, lay steeped in the magical light, her dreaming towers and buttressed walls silvery and shadowy, as full of delicate and mysterious beauty as some City of enchantment called up by the wave of a Wizard's wand, and ready to fade back again into realms of visionary splendour.
