So at last we had to call the Mater, and she took the scissors and cut it off." "Oh, meus oculus!" cried Gerald. "Do you remember how that kettle looked, with a fringe of hair all around it?
Well, I get a letter every few months from some new locality where the man that made that book is covering the fences with his placards, asking me whether I wrote that letter which he keeps in stereotype and has kept so any time these dozen or fifteen years. Animus tuus oculus, as the freshmen used to say.
Roaming its galleries and leaning from its windows he exclaimed with Job: 'Quare de vulvâ eduxisti me? qui utinam consumptus essem, ne oculus me videret. What the Romans, emasculated by luxury and priest rule, what the Cardinals and prelates, lapped in sensuality and sloth, were made to suffer during this long agony, can scarcely be described. It is too horrible.
"Amor oculus est," said Master Eckhardt; love, love was not love then the highest of all human faculties, and must not the act of loving, of perceiving God's essence in some creature which had virtue, the soul's beauty, and beauty, the body's virtue, be the noblest business of a noble life?
The basilica was restored in 1409-1414, and in the sixteenth century, with the assistance of Venice, at which time the baldacchino was destroyed. The church stands on the edge of the land, and has a small round-arched arcade on the façade divided by the doorway, which is covered with a pointed hood on brackets. In the gable is an oculus. The campanile resembles S. Mark's, Venice, as is usual.
The doors are of iron, with lions' heads on the south side and man-headed animals on the other. It opens to the nave, with two pointed arches with an oculus above.

"I'd heard of your exploits through Bertram, and thought probably you'd follow the bait contained in my letter to him." "Nothing wrong with your nerve-system, is there?" inquired Average Jones with mock anxiety. "Now that I'm here, where is L. Livius. And so forth?"
Were I however to conjecture upon a subject in which I have not any positive information, I should suppose that some part of the calcedony, like the oculus mundi when dipped in water, may be so transparent, while containing some portion of humidity, that it is not easily distinguishable from the gypsum in which it is concreted; but that in having the humidity evaporated, by being taken out of the mine and exposed to the dry air, those portions of calcedony, which did not before appear, may be perceived by becoming more opaque .
