Particulars
First appearing in the 1968 book, A Wizard of Earthsea, the Immanent Grove is noted for appearing more extensive when one is inside than when standing outside the grove, and in some stories it is suggested that it has a supernatural connection to all forests in Earthsea. For example, the Master Patterner, Azver, lets Irian stay with him in the Immanent Grove. Initially, Azver befriends Irian as a beginning of a natural evolution of events. However, because the leaves of the Immanent Grove spoke Irian's name before she ever came there, Azver begins to love her. In the second trilogy, magical wizardry becomes "consubstantial with trees, most particularly the Immanent Grove on Roke, going deep into the motherly earth."

Famous quotes containing the word particulars:
“The genius of the Platonists, is intoxicating to the student, yet how few particulars of it can I detach from all their books.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Two things of opposite natures seem to depend
On one another, as a man depends
On a woman, day on night, the imagined
On the real. This is the origin of change.
Winter and spring, cold copulars, embrace
And forth the particulars of rapture come.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
