Chapter IX
“Nay, you _must_ know,” said Lilith, with soft persistence. “Every unit of life in every planet is bound to know its Cause and Final Intention. All is clear to me, and will be so to you, hereafter. You ask me of these things--I tell you,--but you do not believe me;--you will never believe me till--the end.” “Beware the end!”
