Daniel Amos/%C2%A1alarma Chronicles

Famous quotes containing the words daniel and/or chronicles:

    Fair is my Love, and cruel as she’s fair
    Her brow shades frowns, although her eyes are sunny;
    Her smiles are lightning, though her pride despair;
    And her disdains are gall, her favours honey.
    A modest maid, decked with a blush of honour,
    Whose feet do tread green paths of youth and love,
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    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)
