Despairing of the reality of things and totally certain of their nullity, they, without any further ado, simply help themselves to them and devour them. [Hegel]

Patay ang mga bituin
hindi kukurap ang mga hayop:
tayo’y naiwang nag-iisa
sa araw natin,
at maiksi ang panahon
at ang Kasaysayan
sa mga nagapi,
ay maaring magsabi ng 'Sayang!'
ngunit hindi tutulong
o magpapatawad.
WH Auden, Espanya, 1937
We have come to see tomorrow
We have given up today
Down among the dancing quanta
Up above in Transverse City
Here's the witness and the victim
Here's the relatives' remains
Here's the well-known double helix
Here's the poisoned waves of grain
Here's the song of shear and torsion
Here's the bloodbath magazine
Here's the harvest of contusions
Here's the narcoleptic dream
[Warren Zevon]

Sapagkat ang mundo, na kunwari'y
Nakalatag sa ating harapan tulad ng lugar ng mga pangarap,
Napakasari-sari, napakaganda, napakabago,
Ay talagang wala ni saya, ni pag-ibig, ni liwanag,
Ni katiyakan, ni kapayapaan, ni tulong sa pait;
At tayo'y narito sa madilim na kapatagan
Tangay ng malalabong sigaw ng tunggalia't pagtakas
Ng mga litong kawal sa gabi ng digmaan.
Matthew Arnold, Baybayin ng Dover, 1867
