<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> | |||

< | <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> | |||
<option>{{quote|'''<u>ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT</u>'''<br>I have been one acquainted with the night. <br>I have walked out in rain - and back in rain. <br>I have outwalked the furthest city light. <br>I have looked down the saddest city lane. <br>I have passed by the watchman on his beat <br>And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. <br>I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet <br>When far away an interrupted cry <br>Came over houses from another street, <br><br>But not to call me back or say good-bye; <br>And further still at an unearthly height, <br>One luminary clock against the sky <br><br>Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. <br>I have been one acquainted with the night. |Robert Frost}}</option> | |||
<option>{{quote|'''<u>FIRE AND ICE</u>'''<br>Some say the world will end in fire, <br>Some say in ice. <br>From what I’ve tasted of desire<br>I hold with those who favor fire. <br>But if it had to perish twice, <br>I think I know enough of hate<br>To know that for destruction ice<br>Is also great<br>And would suffice.|Robert Frost}}</option> | |||
<option>{{Quote|'''<u>THE ROAD NOT TAKEN</u>'''<br>Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,<br>And sorry I could not travel both<br>And be one traveler, long I stood<br>And looked down one as far as I could<br>To where it bent in the undergrowth;<br><br>Then took the other, as just as fair,<br>And having perhaps the better claim,<br>Because it was grassy and wanted wear;<br>Though as for that the passing there<br>Had worn them really about the same,<br><br>And both that morning equally lay<br>In leaves no step had trodden black.<br>Oh, I kept the first for another day!<br>Yet knowing how way leads on to way,<br>I doubted if I should ever come back.<br><br>I shall be telling this with a sigh<br>Somewhere ages and ages hence:<br>Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—<br>I took the one less traveled by,<br>And that has made all the difference.|Robert Frost}}</option> | |||
