My views on the future are best expressed by Shelley in the following poem:
                O cease! must hate and death return?
                    Cease! must men kill and die?
                Cease! drain not to its dregs the urn
                    Of bitter prophecy.
                The world is weary of the past,
                O might it die or rest at last!
                                                              Final stanza of ‘Hellas’ (478. 1096–1101).
