Let us now look rather more closely at these three great epochs of man's history.
To each of us men it had, for one great epoch in our lives, been a familiar presence.
The great epoch becomes an epoch of decay.
The Exile is an "... eternal punishment for the great epoch - an epoch in which the priest was as yet nothing."
But in the great epochs, what mankind lives by is opinion, and therefore, order rules.
Every great epoch built its way of life on this soil.
The great epochs of our life are at the points when we gain courage to rebaptize our badness as the best in us.
What used to be terrifying has somehow become poignant, as if a great epoch had ended.
Well, I thought glumly, a great epoch in the history of man has reached its end.
It seemed to me that a great epoch of my life had been crowded into a few hours.
