'Enchantment entails a state of wonder, and one of the distinctions of this state is the temporary suspension of chronological time and bodily movement . . . To be enchanted, then, is to participate in a momentary immobilizing encounter; it is to be transfixed, spellbound . . . You notice new colours, discern details previously ignored, hear extraordinary sounds, as familiar landscapes of sense sharpen and intensify.'

Jane Bennett, The Enchantment of Modern Life, p5
