“The present life of man upon earth, O King, seems to me in comparison
with that time which is unknown to us like the swift flight of a sparrow
through the mead-hall where you sit at supper in winter, with your
Ealdormen and thanes, while the fire blazes in the midst and the hall is
warmed, but the wintry storms of rain or snow are raging abroad. The
sparrow, flying in at one door and immediately out at another, whilst he
is within, is safe from the wintry tempest, but after a short space of
fair weather, he immediately vanishes out of your sight, passing from
winter to winter again. So this life of man appears for a little while,
but of what is to follow or what went before we know nothing at all.”
- St Bede

"There is change, and departure: but there is also help when least looked for from the strangers of the day, and hiding, out among the accidents of this drifting Humility, never quite to be extinguished, a few small chances for mercy."
