Del mismo modo que es mejor iluminar que solamente brillar, asimismo es cosa más grande dar a los demás las cosas contempladas que solamente contemplarlas

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror’s magic sights,
For often thro’ the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, came from Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead
Came two young lovers lately wed;
'I am half sick of shadows,'
said the Lady of Shalott

Actually I am a Christian, and indeed a Roman Catholic, so that I do not expect ‘history’ to be anything but a ‘long defeat’ – though it contains some samples or glimpses of final victory.
