Where ere thou hast been, here or in yon world manifest. Canst thou tell what is, or what was, or what is to come? No thing shall last and there are things that shall never change. History is written in blood, yet are battles really lost on the battlefields? Canst thou tell me whence thou comest and where thou goest and what is, or what was, or what is to come? For everything remains as it never was.
