To that extent his saltatory movement is unequivocal evidence of design. It is perhaps to escape the necessity of a similar inference that Mr. Darwin so frequently quotes the proverb Natura non facit saltum; but, if so, he leans on a broken reed on a bit of proverbial philosophy as weak as the weakest of Mr. Tupper's.
False priests, I doubt, many of them were, Englishmen who had hastily done on such holy robes as they found in the church of St Loup. Now Louis de Coutes, being but a boy, and of a mad humour, cried "'Cucullus non facit monachum! Good sirs, let us see your reverend tonsures."
O pie Pancrati, testis pietatis et equi, Te facit heredem, tu clemens suscipe matrem. "Another leaden coffin, full of bones, but without any inscription, has also been found, longer than those of the founder's, having a semicircular top, and six large rings of 3-1/4 inches diameter attached to the outsides.
It is hard to believe, said I, but it is true for all that. In another hundred years it will be as incredible that men talked as we sometimes hear them now. Pectus est quod facit theologum. The heart makes the theologian. Every race, every civilization, either has a new revelation of its own or a new interpretation of an old one.
Clearly appreciate the force of this analogy, and all the arguments against the origin of species by selection, based on the absence of transitional forms, fall to the ground. And Mr. Darwin's position might, we think, have been even stronger than it is if he had not embarrassed himself with the aphorism, "Natura non facit saltum," which turns up so often in his pages.
It is hard to believe, said I, but it is true for all that. In another hundred years it will be as incredible that men talked as we sometimes hear them now. Cor facit theologum. The heart makes the theologian. Every race, every civilization, either has a new revelation of its own or a new interpretation of an old one.
Qui facit per alium facit per se, and when the back-kitchen fire is lighted on Croesus's behalf, it is Croesus who lights it, though he is all the time fast asleep in bed. Sometimes things do not go smoothly. Suppose the kitchen-maid to be taken with fits just before dinner-time; there will be a reverberating echo of disturbance throughout the whole organisation of the palace.
Omnis bella bellabilis in bellerio bellando, bellans, bellativo, bellare facit, bellabiliter bellantes. Parisius habet bellas. Ergo gluc, Ha, ha, ha. This is spoken to some purpose. It is in tertio primae, in Darii, or elsewhere.
The jurist wrote a very fine book. Let me quote a passage from it. 'It is the present and perfect consent the which alone maketh matrimony, without either solemnisation or' here, Dunwoodie, skipping the frank old English, substituted 'or anything else, for neither the one nor the other is the essence of matrimony, but consent only. Consensus non concubitus facit matrimoniam. Hum! Ha!
"Aut fuit, aut veniet; nihil est praesentis in illa." "Morsque minus poenae, quam mora mortis, habet;" Ovid, Ep. a thousand beasts, a thousand men, are sooner dead than threatened. That also which we principally pretend to fear in death is pain, its ordinary forerunner: yet, if we may believe a holy father: "Malam mortem non facit, nisi quod sequitur mortem." St. Augustin, De Civit.
