Spirit Events

Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or events:

“Calm fell. From Heaven distilled a clemency;
There was peace on earth, and silence in the sky;
Some could, some could not, shake off misery:
The Sinister Spirit sneered: ‘It had to be!’
And again the Spirit of Pity whispered, ‘Why?’”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”
