Evil may so shape events that Caesar will occupy a palace and Christ a cross, but that same Christ arose and split history into A.D. and B.C., so that even the life of Caesar must be dated by his name.  Yes, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”  There is something in the universe which justifies William Cullen Bryant in saying, “Truth crushed to earth will rise again.”
