This will make widows wince. But fictive things
Wink as they will. Wink most when widows wince.Wallace Stevens
The light of the people of the world is their knowledge and utterance; while the splendours shed from the glorious acts of Him Whom God shall make manifest are His Words, through whose potency He rolleth up the whole world of existence, sets it under His Own authority by relating it unto Himself, then as the Mouthpiece of God, the Source of His divine light — exalted and glorified be He — proclaimeth: ‘Verily, verily, I am God, no God is there but Me; in truth all others except Me are My creatures. Say, O My creatures! Me alone, therefore, should ye fear’.

We cannot say much about human affairs with any confidence, but sometimes it is possible. We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war, or there won't be a world -- at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others.
Noam Chomsky
Small creatures die because
larger creatures are hungry.
How superior to this
human confusion of greed
and creed, blood and fire.Wendell Berry
From thousands of our undone widows
One may derive some wit.Thomas Middleton
