Famous quotes containing the words sequent and/or explanation:
“Nor sequent centuries could hit

The men who lived with him became
Poets, for the air was fame.”

“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 (18381875)
