<option>{{Quote|There was honour in our Covenant once. But that honour withered a long time ago, as the Prophets turned from the path the Ancient Ones forged. For more than three thousand cycles, we have followed a Covenant of blood and shame, a dishonour to our fathers' fathers, an affront to the Gods, and a stain upon our honour that will never truly wash away. But no more. The blind followers have opened their eyes, and have glimpsed the true face of betrayal - and we have good memories. Our war of vengeance shall burn a path of glory through the stars, sweeping our foes aside like a sacred wind, and our names and deeds shall shall be sung for a thousand years!|Supreme Commander Zuro Dun 'Xoram}}</option>

It is the ultimate self-deception...because it is true. We try to innovate. We try to invent. And in our ignorance, we forget that all has been done before - by the Forerunners, or the Precursors, or by ''their'' predecessors.

And the darkness that was the [[Flood|Abomination]] engulfed the light, and threatened to extinguish all.

<option>{{quote|'''<u>DARKNESS</u>'''<br>I had a dream, which was not all a dream. <br>The bright sun was extinguished, and the stars<br>Did wander darkling in the eternal space, <br>Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth<br>Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air; <br>Morn came and went -and came, and brought no day, <br>And men forgot their passions in the dread<br>Of this their desolation; and all hearts<br>Were chilled into a selfish prayer for light; <br>And they did live by watchfires -and the thrones, <br>The palaces of crowned kings -the huts, <br>The habitations of all things which dwell, <br>Were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed, <br>And men were gathered round their blazing homes<br>To look once more into each other's face; <br>Happy were those which dwelt within the eye<br>Of the volcanoes, and their mountain-torch; <br>A fearful hope was all the world contained; <br>Forests were set on fire -but hour by hour<br>They fell and faded -and the crackling trunks<br>Extinguished with a crash -and all was black. <br>The brows of men by the despairing light<br>Wore an unearthly aspect, as by fits<br>The flashes fell upon them: some lay down<br>And hid their eyes and wept; and some did rest<br>Their chins upon their clenched hands, and smiled; <br>And others hurried to and fro, and fed<br>Their funeral piles with fuel, and looked up<br>With mad disquietude on the dull sky, <br>The pall of a past world; and then again<br>With curses cast them down upon the dust, <br>And gnashed their teeth and howled; the wild birds shrieked, <br>And, terrified, did flutter on the ground, <br>And flap their useless wings; the wildest brutes<br>Came tame and tremulous; and vipers crawled<br>And twined themselves among the multitude, <br>Hissing, but stingless -they were slain for food; <br>And War, which for a moment was no more, <br>Did glut himself again; -a meal was bought<br>With blood, and each sate sullenly apart<br>Gorging himself in gloom: no love was left; <br>All earth was but one thought -and that was death, <br>Immediate and inglorious; and the pang<br>Of famine fed upon all entrails -men<br>Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh; <br>The meagre by the meagre were devoured, <br>Even dogs assailed their masters, all save one, <br>And he was faithful to a corse, and kept<br>The birds and beasts and famished men at bay, <br>Till hunger clung them, or the drooping dead<br>Lured their lank jaws; himself sought out no food, <br>But with a piteous and perpetual moan, <br>And a quick desolate cry, licking the hand<br>Which answered not with a caress -he died. <br>The crowd was famished by degrees; but two<br>Of an enormous city did survive, <br>And they were enemies: they met beside<br>The dying embers of an altar-place<br>Where had been heaped a mass of holy things<br>For an unholy usage: they raked up, <br>And shivering scraped with their cold skeleton hands<br>The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath<br>Blew for a little life, and made a flame<br>Which was a mockery; then they lifted up<br>Their eyes as it grew lighter, and beheld<br>Each other's aspects -saw, and shrieked, and died - <br>Even of their mutual hideousness they died, <br>Unknowing who he was upon whose brow<br>Famine had written Fiend. The world was void, <br>The populous and the powerful was a lump, <br>Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless - <br>A lump of death -a chaos of hard clay. <br>The rivers, lakes, and ocean all stood still, <br>And nothing stirred within their silent depths; <br>Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea, <br>And their masts fell down piecemeal; as they dropped<br>They slept on the abyss without a surge - <br>The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave, <br>The Moon, their mistress, had expired before; <br>The winds were withered in the stagnant air, <br>And the clouds perished!

<option>{{quote|'''<u>THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER</u>'''<br>Life itself is only a vision, a dream.<br>Nothing exists; all is a dream. God - man - the world - the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars - a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space - and you! <br>And you are not you - you have no body, no blood, no bones, you are but a thought. I myself have no existence; I am but a dream - your dream, creature of your imagination. In a moment you will have realized this, then you will banish me from your visions and I shall dissolve into the nothingness out of which you made me ... <br>I am perishing already - I am failing - I am passing away. In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever - for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better! <br>Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago - centuries, ages, eons, ago! - for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities. <br>Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction! Strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane - like all dreams: a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell - mouths mercy and invented hell - mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him! . . . <br>You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks - in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier. <br>It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!|Mark Twain}}</option>

Where are the Phocians and the Locrians, who gave heir lives in the defence of their own towns? What of the Thespians, who stayed knowing of certain death to aid those Spartans? What of Demophilus? What of the thousands of courageous Persians who were slaughtered by the Greeks? Of Abrocomes and Hyperanthes, and Hydarnes, who fell fighting? Do they get no acknowledgement? Do they not deserve some small part of the honour and glory that is rightfully theirs?|Kora 'Morhek, Sangheili philosopher.}}</option>

“ I welcome you to my place of solitude, weary traveller, and I bid you take shelter within this temporary sanctuary from the oncoming storm that rages outside. May the blessings of the Truth Givers be upon you and your kin if you be Sangheili or human, and may their curses follow the treacherous Jiralhanae and San'Shyuum for straying from the path the Gods set before us, and for their betrayal. The traitors have sown the seeds of their own destruction. And for them, it shall be a bitter harvest. ”

Where are the Phocians and the Locrians, who gave heir lives in the defence of their own towns? What of the Thespians, who stayed knowing of certain death to aid those Spartans? What of Demophilus? What of the thousands of courageous Persians who were slaughtered by the Greeks? Of Abrocomes and Hyperanthes, and Hydarnes, who fell fighting? Do they get no acknowledgement? Do they not deserve some part of the honour and glory that is rightfully theirs?"

Poems

"ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain - and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night. "
— Robert Frost
