"...in The Wind in the Willows where rat and mole approach Pan on the island. 'rat,' he found breath to whisper, shaking, 'are you afraid?' 'afraid?' murmured the rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love. 'afraid? of Him? Oh,, never, never. and yet--and yet--O mole, i am afraid.'" (C.S. Lewis in his book The Problem of Pain)
