When beggars die there are no comets seen; The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes."Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, II, 2. "He believed in nothing, she in everything.She believed in divine providence, the omnipotence of evil spirits, fate, incantation and eternal justice.She believed in Jesus Christ, and in the good goddess of the Syrians.She believed, too, that dogs barked when black Hecate passed the crossways, and that a woman could inspire love by pouring a philter into a cup containing a sheep's bleeding fleece.She thirsted for the unknown, she called nameless beings, and lived in perpetual expectancy.The future frightened her and she desired knowledge of it.She surrounded herself with priests of Isis, Chaldean magicians, with doctors and sorcerers, who always deceived but never left her.She feared death, and saw it everywhere."Anatole France."Thaïs"."Nothing in Indonesia is simple or unilinear.Everyone's ideas combine two strains, or three unconnected layers, or four conflicting interests, or five discordant principles
