Act I, sc. 7.
“
Such souls,
Whose sudden visitations daze the world,
Vanish like lighting, but they leave behind
A voice that in the distance far away
Wakens the slumbering ages.
— Henry Taylor

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Such souls,
Whose sudden visitations daze the world,
Vanish like lighting, but they leave behind
A voice that in the distance far away
Wakens the slumbering ages." in the context of "Act I, sc. 7." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
