Till her appointed course be run; Till on the darkness faint her breath Flown to the silent void, and DeathSit crowned upon the ashen sun.(“ The Testimony of the Suns”)

Till her appointed course be run; Till on the darkness...
Till her appointed course be run; Till on the darkness...
Till her appointed course be run; Till on the darkness...
Till her appointed course be run; Till on the darkness...
About This Quote

The Sun, the Moon and the Stars: These three things aloneHave we to trust in. (“The Testimony of the Suns”) This is a beautiful quote about the importance of following your path and not turning back. We all have our own paths and we can't change that, but we can still make our lives better by accepting it for what it is and not letting ourselves get stuck in a rut. You may be at the beginning of your life, you may be on the end of it; it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you're moving forward and making progress towards something or somewhere better.
