Hamlet as little attains this condition of quiet equanimity as the pensive and pondering Montaigne. The latter, however, speaks of souls that know no fear. It is true, he has to go to the ancients in order to meet with this frame of mind. Quoting Horace Non vultus instantis tyranni Mente quatit solida, neque Auster, Dux inquieti turbidus Adriae, Nec fulminantis magna Jovis manus
Yet the night is far from dark. The forests and the mountain-bulk beyond the valley loom softly large and just distinguishable through a pearly haze.

Popular demonstrations of the most threatening kind were often made, but to no purpose. Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentum mente quatit solida. The Pontiff could not be moved from his firm resolve. The ministry, however, was shaken.
The notion of a world of spiritual atoms, 'solida pollentia simplicitate, as Lucretius says, seems to be attractive to some minds.

Desire. M. d'Orbigny, however, admits the perfect identity only of the Trochus.
