# Epigraph III explained — Phantastes

> Chapter companion for Phantastes by George MacDonald.

## What happens

A brief epigraph that presents a paradoxical statement: a small window that looks upon a vast world, suggesting that even a limited perspective can reveal great truths.

## Key lines

> In good sooth, my masters, this is no door. Yet is it a little window, that looketh upon a great world.

Truly, this is not a door, but a small window that opens onto an immense world.

_The epigraph contrasts a door (full access) with a window (limited view), yet suggests the window reveals a vast reality._
