"Vivit, enim, vivetque semper; atque etiam latius in memoria hominum et sermone versabitur, postquam ab oculis recessit." Mr. Chief Justice, there are consolations which arise to mitigate our loss, and shed the influence of resignation over unfeigned and heart-felt sorrow.
Although Descartes thus limits the direct interaction of soul and body to a small part of the organism, he makes an exception in the case of memoria, which appears to him to be more of a physical than a psychical function, and which he conjectures to be diffused through the whole brain.
Ambrose generally succeeded in making them remember enough to matriculate, by dint of ceaseless repetition and a system of memoria technica which embraced most things necessary to the salvation of dull youth.
You remember your conduct at the 'Barring out. I tell you it's well that your worthy father is a dacent wealthy man, or I'd be apt to give you a memoria technica on the subtratum, Thady." "God be praised for my father's wealth, sir! But I'd never wish to have a good memory in the way you mention." "Faith, an' I'll be apt to add that to your other qualities, if you don't take care of yourself."
It has befallen me more than once to forget the watchword I had three hours before given or received, and to forget where I had hidden my purse; whatever Cicero is pleased to say, I help myself to lose what I have a particular care to lock safe up: "Memoria certe non modo Philosophiam sed omnis vitae usum, omnesque artes, una maxime continet."
"Nor can I," said Mary; "give me good native numbers; they are sweet and kindly, like flowers in a bed; but I don't like your artificial flower-pots." "But surely," said Charles, "a memoria technica makes you recollect a great many dates which you otherwise could not?" "The crabbed names are more difficult even to pronounce than the numbers to learn," said Caroline.
They are dead; they have gone before their Judge who, I hope, will open to them the springs of His compassion. It is not my business to think about it. It is simply my business to say, as Leonora's people say: "Requiem aeternam dona eis, Do mine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. In memoria aeterna erit...." But what were they? The just? The unjust? God knows!
Sooner or later the school books had to reform. The Latin school rhetoric of Thomas Vicars , after one has perused the treatise of his predecessors and contemporaries, is so conservative as to appear startling. It has all the air of a novelty. Memoria he omits, following here, as elsewhere, the sound leadership of Vossius. Channels of Classical Theory
All literature that tends upward contains the tragic element; and all literature that tends downward rejects it. Æschylus and Dante assume a world of retribution, and employ for the purposes of poetry the fear it awakens. Memoria ardoris gehennae extinguat in te ardorem luxuriane." BERNARD: De Modo Bene Vivendi.
Girolamo was twenty-three years of age, and exhibited no less composure at his death than resolution in his previous conduct, for being stripped of his apparel, and in the hands of the executioner, who stood by with the sword unsheathed, ready to deprive him of life, he repeated the following words, in the Latin tongue, in which he was well versed: "Mors acerba, fama perpetua, stabit vetus memoria facti."
