Seizure/history

Famous quotes containing the words seizure and/or history:

    Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
    Has not yet begun
    To make a seizure on the light,
    Or to seal up the sun.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
