Famous quotes containing the words long and/or fall:
“If it was not wise,
Tell me why the East
Seemingly has ceased
From its long stagnation
In mere meditation.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Our medieval historians who prefer to rely as much as possible on official documents because the chronicles are unreliable, fall thereby into an occasionally dangerous error. The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
