She did not shut it properly because she knew that it is very silly to shut oneself into a wardrobe, even if it is not a magic one.

I never heard weeping like that before or after; not from a child, nor a man wounded in the palm, nor a tortured man, nor a girl dragged off to slavery from a taken city. If you heard the woman you most hate in the world weep so, you would go to comfort her. You would fight your way through fire and spears to reach her. And I knew who wept, and what had been done to her, and who had done it.

Believe in God like you believe in the sunrise. Not because you can see it, but because you can see all it touches.

We shall not be well so long as we love and admire anything more than we love and admire God.
