Seb Falk in "The Light Ages" quotes the fourteenth century poet John Gower"
"For now at this time
men see the world on every side
changed in so many ways
that it well-nigh stands reversed."
I'm just through the first two chapters, and I like it very much. Particularly enjoyed the explanation of math operations using Roman numerals (turns out to be not that hard with the tools and processes which had been invented).
