But through this Armageddon the world will pass into a realm of peace, of brotherhood, of cooperation, and will forget the darkness and the terrors of the night in the joy that cometh in the morning..." in the context of "Annie Besant, ''The Theosophist'', October 1914." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
