Quote #7
The rising of the sun had made everything look so different – all the colours and shadows were changed – that for a moment they didn't see the important thing. Then they did. The Stone Table was broken in two pieces by a great crack that ran down it from end to end; and there was no Aslan. (15.25)
History, the law, and the Deep Magic from the Dawn of Time all transform in the wake of Aslan's great sacrifice.
Quote #8
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself. (15.29)
Aslan isn't quite the same after his resurrection. He seems a little bigger, a little brighter, and little more energetic. He has been renewed and strengthened by his terrible experience.
Quote #9
I expect you've seen someone put a lighted match to a bit of newspaper which is propped up in a grate against an unlit fire. And for a second nothing seems to have happened; and then you notice a tiny streak of flame creeping along the edge of the newspaper. It was like that now. For a second after Aslan had breathed upon him the stone lion looked just the same. Then a tiny streak of gold began to run along his white marble back – then it spread – then the colour seemed to lick all over him as the flame licks all over a bit of paper – then, while his hind-quarters were still obviously stone the lion shook his mane and all the heavy, stony folds rippled into living hair. (16.5)
Breath is often metaphorically associated with the spirit and with holy things, and Aslan's breath has incredible transformative powers.
