Sabriel experienced a deep sense of family chaos and a sensation of drifting through a vast galaxy of stars. These stars represented letters, forming a graceful, infinite dance that symbolized the world’s constant motion and interconnectedness. The imagery emphasizes both chaos and order intertwined, as the letters encompass and define the universe's movements.
"Sabriel knew only a small fraction of the symbols, but knew what they danced and felt the purity of the letter to bathe it." This suggests her limited understanding yet a profound connection to the symbols' essence, implying her awareness of their underlying harmony and the power they hold in shaping reality. The passage highlights her intuition and the significance of symbols beyond mere characters.
