I had every day encountered a million of crosses, harder to digest in the progress of ambition, than it has been hard for me to curb the natural propension that inclined me to it: "Jure perhorrui Lath conspicuum tollere verticem." All public actions are subject to uncertain and various interpretations; for too many heads judge of them. I endeavoured to keep my mind and my thoughts in repose;
Os homini sublime dedit coelumque tueri Jussit et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus: looking downwards, and at the end touching the ground with a contorted gesticulation. Garrick was generally jealous of Johnson's light opinion of him, and used to take off his old master, saying, "Davy has some convivial pleasantry about him, but 'tis a futile fellow."
Consequently it is not to them, but only to those nobler and more highly endowed natures, those men who really think and observe things round them, and are the exceptions in the human race, that the following lines are applicable: "Os homini sublime dedit coelumque tueri Jussitt et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus." Why is "common" an expression of contempt?
Christianity released European humanity from its superficial and crude absorption in an ephemeral, uncertain, and hollow existence. ... coelumque tueri Jussit, et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus. Accordingly, Christianity does not only preach Justice, but the Love of Mankind, Compassion, Charity, Reconciliation, Love of one's Enemies, Patience, Humility, Renunciation, Faith, and Hope.
Everything about them cries out; in terram prona! It is not to them, it is only to the nobler and more highly endowed natures men who really think and look about them in the world, and form exceptional specimens of humanity that the next lines are applicable; Os homini sublime dedit coelumque tueri Jussit et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus.
There are few men who durst publish to the world the prayers they make to Almighty God: "Haud cuivis promptum est, murmurque, humilesque susurros Tollere de templis, et aperto vivere voto" and this is the reason why the Pythagoreans would have them always public and heard by every one, to the end they might not prefer indecent or unjust petitions as this man: "Clare quum dixit, Apollo!
We have poetical constructions, as tollere consilia iniit; popular ones, as infitias it, dum with the perfect tense, and colloquialisms like impraesentiarum; we have Graecizing words like deuteretur, automatias, and curious inflexions such as Thuynis, Coti, Datami, genitives of Thuys, Cotys, and Datames, respectively. We see in Nepos, as in Xenophon, the first signs of a coming change.
The inventress of brooms. From casting out the birth. Aulus Gellius. Aelian. From erritor, to struggle. See Ausonius, Idyll 12. Some make her the same with Rhea or Vesta. Among the Romans the midwife always laid the child on the ground, and the father or somebody appointed, lifted it up; hence the expression of tollere liberos, to educate children.
This, therefore, will be a good argument to us, either not to write at all; or to attempt some other way. There are no Bays to be expected in their walks, Tentanda via est qua me quoque possum tollere humo. "This way of Writing in Verse, they have only left free to us.
To emphasise the problem by offering it to us in an allegory, of which we are presumed to possess a key, serves only to revive Man Friday's question, or the old dilemma which neither intellect nor imagination has ever dealt with successfully. 'Deus aut non vult tollere mala, aut nequit. Si non vult non est bonus.
