Longing Performs All Things

To Hate Excellence Is To Hate The Gods.

But It Is Not For The Perfect Vase Or The Polished Gem To Choose Their Owners.

It Is Better To Learn War Early From Friends, Than Late From Enemies.

All Tragedies Deal With Fated Meetings; How Else Could There Be A Play? Fate Deals Its Stroke; Sorrow Is Purged, Or Turned To Rejoicing; There Is Death, Or Triumph; There Has Been A Meeting, And A Change. No One Will Ever Make A Tragedy - And That Is As Well, For One Could Not Bear It - Whose Grief Is That The Principals Never Met.

Clouds Of Black Birds Rose Up Wailing And Screaming, Like The Thoughts Of My Heart.
