Eager men, however, avaricious of performance, do not always regard it with entire complacency.

By Jupiter! you have well nigh driven out the divine particle; such another shock, and my soul will be in Hades! 'Ah, Diomed! is it you? forgive my inadvertence. I was absorbed in thinking of the reverses of life. Our poor friend, Glaucus, eh! who could have guessed it? 'Well, but tell me, Clodius, is he really to be tried by the senate?

But though such an inadvertence may facilitate the reception of this reasoning, it will make it be the more easily forgot; for which reason I think it proper to give warning, that I have just now examined one of the most sublime questions in philosophy, viz. that concerning the power and efficacy of causes; where all the sciences seem so much interested.

John Quincy Adams. Washington, January 30, 1829.
