Some asked me already what my blog's title and subtitle referred to. I was disappointed because I thought it was an easy piece of Christian trivia for this friend. It is so not C.S. Lewis...
It's J.R.R. Tolkien and The Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, Chapter VII; page 357 of my copy. "I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel."
I know Tolkien did not write the trilogy to parallel Christianity like Lewis often wrote his works, but I think there are so many Christian themes in The Lord of the Rings and this perhaps obscure quote reflects the direction I would like my life to go in.

It's an excellent quote, more than appropos for a blog name. I like it a lot.
It's just I'm not up on my LOTR trivia... though once it was pointed out to me I actually remembered the quote. But I'm not that much into LOTR. The books were great, the movies good and that's the extent of my enthusiasm for LOTR.
Excellent quote and use here though.
