2 Quotes by Royall Tyler

The Jetavana Temple bells ring the passing of all things. Twinned sala trees, white in full flower, declare the great man's certain fall. The arrogant do not long endure: They are like a dream one night in spring. The bold and brave perish in the end:They are as dust before the wind.

So it is that in our worldhopes are thwarted at every turnand the people's lot is always pain.
