Inspired by the following passage from Lilith by George MacDonald:
In Lona the dazzling beauty of Lilith was softened by childlikeness, and deepened by the sense of motherhood…. She drew my heart by what in me was likest herself, and I loved her as one who, grow to what perfection she might, could only become the more a child…. Every word she spoke seemed to go straight to my heart, and, like the truth itself, make it purer.
