Famous quotes containing the words medieval and/or world:
“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)
“Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
