The
Quiet
Loud

updated NOV16/25

"...he thought he had come to the end of his adventure, and a terrible end, but the thought hardened him. He found himself stiffening, as if for a final spring; he no longer felt limp like a helpless prey." ...anguish of those who were happy before a certain darkness came up and will be happy if they live to see it gone. "This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must; while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." Find us...where a code of honor still holds sway, "Sire, my life is ever at your command, but my honor is my own." "Thou wert the meekest man that ever ate in hall among ladies; and thou wert the sternest knight to thy mortal foe that ever put spear in the rest."  Only a society that holds this idea--in its art, literature, and its institutions--can hope to resist the dark and hungry forces arrayed against it. "It offers the only possible escape from a world divided between wolves who do not understand, and sheep who cannot defend, the things which make life desirable." To the Ancients, Friendship seemed the happiest and most fully human of all loves; the crown of life and the school of virtue. The modern world, in comparison, ignores it." You will not find the warrior, the poet, the philosopher, or the Christian by staring into his eyes as if he were your mistress: better to fight beside him, read with him, argue with him, pray with him. Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. But this King, who brings strength and healing in his hands, will make everything sad come untrue...

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
