Sequent/explanation

Famous quotes containing the words sequent and/or explanation:

    Nor sequent centuries could hit
    Orbit and sum of SHAKSPEARE’s wit.
    The men who lived with him became
    Poets, for the air was fame.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.
    W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
