We have reached to end of Transposition for now. I am sure we will all personally travel back and revisit it again and again. There are so many deep truths in this essay. As will all challenging essays on should end with hope and Lewis does not disappoint.
"Transposition can be in its own way adequate. I said before that in your drawing you had only plain white paper for sun and cloud, snow, water, and human flesh. In one sense, how miserably inadequate! Yet in another, how perfect. If the shadows are properly done that patch of white paper will, in some curious way, be very like blazing sunshine: we shall almost feel cold while we look at the paper snow and almost warm our hands at the paper fire."
Maybe, out inadequacy is uniquely adequate given our "translucent" existence, wherein we are awaiting our solidness in Real Narnia. Maybe, Art, Literature, Music, etc. are the perfect expression for humanity to engage in to seek out and pursue the "echo of a tune not heard." Proverbs says it is the Glory of God to conceal things but the Glory of Kings to seek them out.
