"Spiritualis ille mundus, mundi huius exemplar, primumque Dei opus, vita aequali est architecto, fuit semper cum illo, eritque semper.

Sometimes the wit of a scene lies in a shoulder-belt, and sometimes in a pair of whiskers. No. 338. "Nil fuit unquam Sic dispar sibi." "Made up of nought but inconsistencies."
