Incipit | History is a seed; it is invisible to those who live in the present. It is intangible matter. The day hides the seed between the folds in the soil, through the passing of time, underneath the seed. The soil shields that seed, and patience teaches it to ripen. Man grows it. His gaze makes it mature, his spirit feeds it. |
