It is entitled De Animi Tranquillitate . I earnestly desire tranquillity. Bona res quies: but I fear I shall never attain it: for, when unoccupied, I grow gloomy, and occupation agitates me to feverishness. 'I am, dear Sir, 'Your most affectionate humble servant, 'To JAMES BOSWELL, ESQ.
Perf. in the sense of the pres. Inertiam. Cf. 14: ingrata genti quies. In this account of the habits of the Germans, one might easily fancy, he was reading a description of the manner of life among our American Indians. All tribes in a rude and savage state must have many similar usages and traits of character.
As I have remarked, difficilis in otio quies it is difficult to keep quiet if you have nothing to do. A man should avoid being led on by the phantoms of his imagination. This is not the same thing as to submit to the guidance of ideas clearly thought out: and yet these are rules of life which most people pervert.
I hardly know an instance in poetry of so great an effect produced by means so simple. There is something irresistibly pathetic in the lines "Qualis erat populi facies, clamorque faventum Olim cum juvenis " and something unspeakably solemn in the sudden turn which follows "Crastina dira quies " There are two passages in Lucan which surpass in eloquence anything that I know in the Latin language.
Some clusters, thank God! are fragrant, ripe, and ready for the wine-press, when the Angel of the Vintage comes to gather them in; but my work is only half done. Not until my fingers clasp white flowers under a pall, shall it be said of me, 'Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. In coelo quies!

'Here is a calm conscience, and a life ignorant of deceit. "But Virginia did not approve of my Latin; she said, that what I had placed at the foot of her weather flag was too long and too learned.
Besides on the wall where he lies, there were painted three virgins crowned, one of which was named Charity, holding this device, En toy quies fitz de Dieu le pere, Sauve soit, qui gist fours cest pierre. The second writing MERCY, with this device; O bene Jesu fait ta mercy, A'lame, dont la corps gisticy. The third writing PITY, with this decree;
From the time the poison began to operate, you would have conjectured that sleep was overpowering it, and you would have exclaimed, “Pressitque jacentem, dulcis et alta quies, placidæque simillima morti.” There are now two positive proofs of the effect of this fatal poison, viz., the death of the hog, and that of the sloth.
The Springfield Arsenal inspired a noble poem; but that, as we are learning, was not all it was meant for. What poets would be born to us in the future without the "placida quies" which "sub libertate" the sword alone can secure for our children? It is all plain, but it has been an astonishment to us, as our war-comet was to the astronomers.
Why, Jonathan, he is married he is made a captain Captain Templemore! 'Yes sir. 'And he has found his brother, Jonathan; his twin-brother! 'Yes sir. 'His brother Francis that was supposed to be lost! But it's a long story, Jonathan! and a very wonderful one! his poor mother has long been dead! 'In coelo quies! said Jonathan, casting up his eyes. 'But his brother has turned up again.
