Aeschylus Blow Quotations

Ah, lives of men! When prosperous they glitter - Like a fair picture; when misfortune comes - A wet sponge at one blow has blurred the painting.

For a murderous blow let murderous blow atone.

But still the block of Vengeance firm doth stand, and Fate, as swordsmith, hammers blow on blow.

For in the voyage of the heart, there is a freight of hatred, and the wind of wrath blows shrill.

For a deadly blow let him pay with a deadly blow: it is for him who has done a deed to suffer.
