Quote of the Day (Christopher Fry, on the “Frozen Misery of Centuries”)


“The human heart can go the lengths of God.
Dark and cold we may be, but this
Is no winter now. The frozen misery
Of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move;
The thunder is the thunder of the floes,
The thaw, the flood, the upstart Spring.”—Christopher Fry (1907-2005), “A Sleep of Prisoners” (1951)
