Author's Note: This is a scene from the book A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.
"Outwardly Mrs. Whatsit was a marble-white body with powerful flanks, something like a horse but at the same time completely unlike a horse, for from the magnificently modeled back sprang a nobly formed torso, arms, and a head resembling a man's, but a man with a perfection of dignity and virtue. From the shoulders slowly a pair of wings unfolded, wings made of rainbows."
Mrs. Whatsit is flying on the planet Uriel carrying Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace on her back.
I used a lot of sources.
