May it, when both we and our enemies alike have ceased to exist, be a durable monument of the good intention of the one, and the injustice of the other.... Let us remember the fable of Bocalina: 'A traveller was disturbed by the importunate chirrupings of the grasshoppers; he would fain have slain them every one, but only got belated and missed his way; he need only have fared peacefully on his road, and the grasshoppers would have died of themselves before the end of a week." A volume was now produced in each year, until the autumn of 1757 and the issue of the seventh volume.
John Morley - Diderot and the Encyclopædists (Vol 1 of 2)
