Meaning
This moment reads as a dramatic arrival of something greater than the scene around it. The Lion can be taken to mean a presence that changes the scale of everything else, making fear, doubt, or ordinary concerns look smaller by comparison. It lands when a person encounters authority, hope, or courage that reorders the whole room.

About C.S. Lewis
British author, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian
C. S. Lewis was a British author, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian. He held posts in English literature at Magdalen College, Oxford, and later at Magdalene College, Cambridge. He is best known for The Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis also wrote The Screwtape Letters and the Space Trilogy, along with Christian apologetic works such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain. His writing ranges from imaginative fiction to religious argument, and much of it reflects his interest in Christian belief and moral questions.
