midnight
Kindness fadeth away , but vengeance endureth . `` I asked the green oak of the assembly , wherefore its boughs were dry and seared like the horns of the stag ? And it showed me that a small worm had gnawed its roots . The boy who remembered the scourge , undid the wicket of the castle at midnight . Kindness fadeth away , but vengeance endureth . `` Lightning destroyeth temples , though their spires pierce the clouds ; Storms destroy armadas , though their sails intercept the gale . He that is in his glory falleth , and that by a contemptible enemy .
