'Suave mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis E terra magnum alterius spectare laborem . . . Protestants, who look at creeds as things to be changed like coats, whenever they seem not to fit them, little know what we Catholic-hearted ones suffer. . . . If they did, they would be more merciful and more chary in the requirements of us, just as we are in the very throe of a new-born existence.
St. Matt. viii. 26; "Imperavit ventis et mari, et facta est tranquillitas magna." Ch. xxxi. section 2. St. John of the Cross, Spiritual Canticle, st. 24, p. 128, Eng. trans. St. Matt. x. 26, 28; "Ne ergo timueritis eos, . . . sed potius timete Eum." St. John viii. 44: "Mendax est, et pater ejus." How the Fears of the Saint Vanished.
"Crede ratem ventis, animum ne crede puellis: Namque est feminea tutior unda fide." "Femina nulla bona est, et, si bona contigit ulla, Nescio quo fato res mala facta bona." We observe the entire lack of inspiration, combined with considerable smoothness, but both, in a feebler degree, which are characteristic of his brother's poems.
When I come home I look out of the small window; the landscape is magnificent: about twenty yards of virgin soil with Spring grass on it and the barn on the horizon. Behind the fence, over which I see the tops of the heads of passers-by. "Suave mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis spectare laborem...." I forget how it runs further! My latin gets weak.
Suave mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis E terra magnum alterius spectare laborem; Non quia vexari quenquam eat jucunda voluptas, Sed quibus ipse malls caress qula cernere sauv' est. All this is easily applied to the present subject.
A man himself strikes much surer than the air can direct his blow: "Et, quo ferre velint, permittere vulnera ventis Ensis habet vires; et gens quaecumque virorum est, Bella gerit gladiis."
These two forms are written indiscriminately in the old MSS. The meaning of ne perinde here is not so much, sc. as other seas. Cf. note, G. 5. Ne ventis attolli. Directly the reverse of the truth. Those seas, are in fact, remarkably tempestuous. Quod impellitur.
