It's my belief that history is a wheel. 'Inconstancy is my very essence,'? says the wheel. Rise up on my spokes if you like but don't complain when you're cast back down into the depths.

Give me Thy light, and fix my eyes on Thee!

Man is so constituted that he then only excels other things when he knows himself.
