People pressed in all around the, staring at the stern-faced warriors rank on rank behind the mighty lords whose names ran like quicksilver through the crowds.The Hawk was known in Winchester and his banner drew cheers, but Viking warlords in the king's city were something new.

Now lay down in bed. Close your eyes.
Wait.
Just a little longer. ~ Rachel Cohn

Without a revolution of the inner life, however slow, all our big designs are worthless.
