The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning … The things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us, this is 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 this world 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.

— CS Lewis, The Last Battle (final paragraph)
