And the gifts put into some men, that shine as bright as Eirias the sword, shall light the dark corners of life for all the rest, in so brave a world. But if you work and care and are watchful, as we have tried to be for you, then in the long run the worse will never, ever, triumph over the better. Good men will still be killed by bad, or sometimes by other good men, and there will still be pain and disease and famine, anger and hate. Now especially since man has the strength to destroy the world, it is the responsibility of man to keep it alive, in all its beauty and marvelous joy.Īnd the world will still be imperfect, because men are imperfect. This is the fifth and last book in The Dark Is Rising sequence. The hope is always here, always alive, but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world.įor Drake is no longer in his hammock, children, nor is Arthur somewhere sleeping, and you may not lie idly expecting the second coming of anybody now, because the world is yours and it is up to you. The future can not blame the present, just as the present can not blame the past. The responsibility and the hope and the promise are in your hands-your hands and the hands of all men on this earth. We have delivered you from evil, but the evil that is inside men is at the last a matter for men to control.
