The future of that ancient chamber remains in considerable doubt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
It is hard to say what the future holds, but this is probable - it won't be just like the past.
Doubt begins only at the last frontiers of what is possible.
The future is hidden by a dark impenetrable veil, and yet we struggle to pierce through it.
When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence.
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Our trust in the future has lost its innocence. We know now that anything can happen from one minute to the next. Politics, religion, economics, and the institutions of family and community all have become abruptly unsure.
Rome is one enormous mausoleum. There, the Past lies visibly stretched upon his bier. There is no today or tomorrow in Rome; it is perpetual yesterday.
It is the job of the historian to say what is likely, and of faith to say what is possible.
Part of my attraction to ancient art is that there is an element of risk, of speculation.
