Poul AndersonHappier are all men than the dwellers in Faerie โ or the gods, for that matterโฆBetter a life like a falling star, bright across the dark, than a deathlessness that can see naught above or beyond itselfโฆthe day draws nigh when Faerie shall fade, the Erlking himself shrink to a woodland sprite and then to nothing, and the gods go under. And the worst of it is, I cannot believe it wrong that the immortals will not live forever.
Poul Anderson
