Ancestral voices prophesying war.
Coleridge.

Shakespeare.
I shall always consider the best guesser the best prophet.
Cicero.
The prophet’s mantle, ere his flight began,Dropt on the world—a sacred gift to man.
Campbell.
Thy voice sounds like a prophet’s word;And in its hollow tones are heardThe thanks of millions yet to be.
Fitz-Greene Halleck.
Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast;Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so.”
Byron.
There is a history in all men’s lives,Figuring the nature of the times deceas’d,The which observed, a man may prophesyWith a near aim, of the main chance of thingsAs yet not come to life, which in their seedsAnd weak beginnings lie intreasured.
Shakespeare.
