Defuit una mihi symmetria prisca, "The antique symmetry was the one thing wanting to me," said Leonardo da Vinci; and he was an Italian.

The antique symbol of the serpent biting its tail is, above all, applicable to science.
Nec defuit audentia Druso Germanico: sed obstitit Oceanus in se simul atque in Herculem inquiri. Mox nemo tentavit; sanctiusque ac reverentius visum, de actis deorum credere, quam scire. XXXV. Hactenus in Occidentem Germaniam novimus. In Septentrionem ingenti flexu redit.
