Omen

"“We have searched the seas, and have waited for the omens to come to pass.” Foamfollower paused to look thoughtfully at Covenant, then went on: “Ah, my Lords, omening is curious. So much is said—and so little made clear.”"

"This was an omen for sure, but one with no obvious meaning."

"The omen was foretold, and now we have a fear more grave. Today I saw the day become like night. I saw a man run with the jaguar. We must not let this man make feet from us."

"Εἷς οἰωνὸς ἄριστος ἀμύνεσθαι περὶ πάτρης."

"Without a sign his sword the brave man draws, And asks no omen but his country's cause."

"Fourteen clear signs of omen in the gem With which Medea human fate foretold"

"Perfect knowledge of such things cannot be acquired without divine inspiration, given that all prophetic inspiration derives its initial origin from God Almighty, then from chance and nature.

We need god to prosper those without him will not."

"Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? Some bloody passion shakes your very frame; These are portents; but yet I hope, I hope, They do not point on me."

"The sweet imperious mouth, whose haughty valor Defied all portents of impending doom."
