“I felt neither ill or kind intent... Tell me, have you ever stood alone before great vistas of nature, and marveled at its beauty? Its power and indifference. We have our nobility, but this was more aristocratic than any feudal or caste system. Even if the rabble who will tolerate nothing over them succeeded in overthrowing all aristocracies, they would still have to allow one to exist. Empires and laws will fall, but the rule of nature shall always be the apex to which all others are subject.”
V.H. Witt, Strife and Sublimity: Tales of Germanics and Slavs
“If you cease to make any other foolish quips, I may tell you of bloody struggles against the Turks, Swedes, or the English, and the great storms which raptured our ship as if we were pests in the face of Poseidon’s wrath.”
V.H. Witt, Strife and Sublimity: Tales of Germanics and Slavs
