And my language is plain—
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee is peculiar:

“Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time.

—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
