Episode 10: Evensong
This episode unfolds at a springtime scholars' garden party on historic college grounds, where trimmed hedges, buzzing bees, and eccentric academics set the scene for a day steeped in beauty and introspection.
A line from C.S. Lewis—“Imagination is the organ of meaning”—echoes through the narrative, guiding a quiet journey from lighthearted conversation to a deeper, more haunting experience. Professor Simon Horobin describes the legacy of C.S. Lewis in Oxford.
An immersive blend of literary musings, seasonal imagery, and subtle emotion, this episode finds Eloise searching for her place in a world both enchanted and real.
