To be concealed, protected, guarded, that is all I have ever truly ever wanted, to burrow down into a place of womby warmth and cower there, hidden from the sky's indifferent gaze and the air's harsh damagings. That is why the past is just such a retreat for me, I go there eagerly, rubbing my hands and shaking off the cold present and the colder future.

He stretched out his arms towards the dark water in a curious way, and, as far as I was away from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seawards - and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock.

I don't know what book that is from but it is very like Gandalf's line from The Lord of the Rings "You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass."
