Once, while walking with a student, C. S. Lewis watched a flight of swans alight on a sunlit river. The student quoted, “Look thy last on all things lovely, every hour.” Lewis replied, “No. No. It should certainly not be, 'Look thy last...’, but 'Look thy first on all things lovely. Every sight and sound that is good, every touch of beauty or rightness, is pointing ahead to its ultimate fulfillment in the world to come." Lewis reminds us that the beauties we now look upon—whether sunset, flower, or friend—are not final but first fruits: seeds, glimpses, and foretastes of what they are meant to become. Their promise is real though often hidden, growing toward a goodness that can already be glimpsed here and will find its full flowering beyond this life. In this talk I will explore the theory of human nature that underlies this perspective—what Lewis called eschatological Platonism—and consider its implications for earthly pleasures, heavenly bliss, and final destiny.
