The Gospel of John in The Last Battle
John 21:1-6
And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the
things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I
cannot write them. And for us this the end of all the stories, and we
can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them
it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this
world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the
title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great
Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which
every chapter is better than the one before.
Fiat factum.
ReplyDeleteI think I always liked The Last Battle best.
ReplyDeleteSomeone on Quora asked why Lewis ended Narnia on a down note. I said, "This is the note he ends on" and quoted that.
