At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald
page 347 of 360 (96%)
"Haven't I, North Wind? Oh! I'm so sorry! I thought I had.
What did I see then?"

"Only a picture of it. The real country at my real back is ever
so much more beautiful than that. You shall see it one day--
perhaps before very long."

"Do they sing songs there?"

"Don't you remember the dream you had about the little boys that dug
for the stars?"

"Yes, that I do. I thought you must have had something to do
with that dream, it was so beautiful."

"Yes; I gave you that dream."

"Oh! thank you. Did you give Nanny her dream too--about the moon
and the bees?"

"Yes. I was the lady that sat at the window of the moon."

"Oh, thank you. I was almost sure you had something to do with that too.
And did you tell Mr. Raymond the story about the Princess Daylight?"

"I believe I had something to do with it. At all events he thought
about it one night when he couldn't sleep. But I want to ask you
whether you remember the song the boy-angels sang in that dream
of yours."
