On Wisdom

An Audience in Athens During Agamemnon by Aeschylus, Sir William Blake Richmond 1884, Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery/Bridgeman Art Library.

"God, whose law it is that he who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despite, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." -Aeschylus
