“ Men are the dreams of a shadow. ”
* Pindar, a Thebian Greek wrote (circa 350 B.C.E.) War is sweet to those who have no experience of it. But the experienced man trembles exceedingly in his heart at its approach.
~ Pindar
Creatures of a day. What is someone? What is no one? Man is the dream of a shadow.
Creatures of a day, what is any one? What is he not? Man is but a dream of a shadow. Yet when there comes as a gift of heaven a gleam of sunshine, there rest upon men a radiant light and, aye, a gentle life.
Steer your boat with justice: forge A tongue on truth's anvil.
