“Of course, in the reality of history, the Machiavellian view which glorifies the principle of violence has been able to dominate.

—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

—J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
“O western orb sailing the heaven,
Now I know what you must have meant as a month since I walked,
As I walked in silence the transparent shadowy night,”
