When I began to read to read the Preface of God Secretaries: The Making of King James Bible I began to think on how people are forgotten through time. Right now we don't remember man important people who lived centuries ago who had a great impact in the world. But even though they were important, they weren't remembered. Those people weren't remembered, but what they did or what they said was remember. Still nowadays, we use things those people said and our common knowledge como from those people. For example in God Secretaries: The Making of King James Bilbe the men who made it are not remembered. But their sayings will never be forgotten.
"They have a ghost presence in our lives, invisible but constantly heard, enriching the language within the 'civility, learning and eloquence' of their translation, but nowadays only whispering the sentences into our ears." (Pg. xi)
This passage prooved what I had said before. It prooves that through time many people are not remembered. But their words, their presence, their actions will never be forgotten. Sometimes the only way to be remembered is by living a mark in life, doing something that will always have a presence in people's life.
