From Iris Murdoch's novel The Bell —
" 'With an engineer to help me,' said Dora,
'I can do anything.' And indeed as she
stood there in the moonlight, looking at
the quiet water, she felt as if by the sheer
force of her will she could make the great
bell rise. After all, and after her own fashion,
she would fight. In this holy community
she would play the witch."
