Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart
until, in our own despair, against our will,
comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

Additional quotes by Aeschylus

For fear, enforcing goodness,
Must somewhere reign enthroned,
And watch men’s ways, and teach them,
Through self-inflicted sorrow,
That sin is not condoned.
What man, no longer nursing
Fear at his heart – what city,
Once fear is cast away,
Will bow the knee to Justice
As in an earlier day?

Todo lo enseña, con la vejez, el tiempo.

არა! მოგაშთობთ, სანამ ჩემი დამდგარა ჯერი.
უფსკრულში ჯერ თქვენ გადაგიშვებთ, მერმე მოგყვებით
