What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
-Richard Bach

And I saw, and, look! a pale horse; and the one seated upon it had the name Death. And Hades was closely following him. And authority was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a long sword and with food shortage and with deadly plague and by the wild beasts of the earth.
-Book of Revelations, New World Bible

What tidings are to be told of Ragnarok?
Thus says the Vala's Prophecy:
Brothers will fight together
And become each other's bane;
Sisters' children
Their sib shall spoil. (1)
Hard is the world,
Sensual sins grow huge.
There are ax-ages, sword-ages---
Shields are cleft in twain,---
There are wind-ages, wolf-ages,
Ere the world falls dead. (2)

The sun grows dark,
The earth sinks into the sea,
The bright stars
From heaven vanish;
Fire rages,
Heat blazes,
And high flames play
'Gainst heaven itself. (8)
-The Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson- Anderson Translation

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
-Excerpts from The Hollow Men, T.S. Elliot"
