Анна Комнина: Цитаты на английском языке

Anna Comnena книга Alexiad

The Alexiad, Preface

Nevertheless, the science of History is a great bulwark against this stream of Time; in a way it checks this irresistible flood, it holds in a tight grasp whatever it can seize floating on the surface and will not allow it to slip away into the depths of Oblivion.
