But just then, lifted off by the tide's final undulations, the Nautilus left its coral bed at exactly that fortieth minute pinpointed by the captain. Its propeller churned the waves with lazy majesty. Gathering speed little by little, the ship navigated on the surface of the ocean, and safe and sound, it left behind the dangerous narrows of the Torres Strait. "Aegri Somnia"*
Et dicitur de eo in partibus illis quod si hic qui portat sit continens, et sobrius reddit illum magnanimum et audacem, et iuuat in causis iustis certantem, conseruat substantias corporales, aufert praua somnia, depellit prauorum spirituum illusiones, sortilegia, et incantationes, ac valet contra lunaticam passionem, vt daemonis obsessionem, et venenosum quod illi appropinquauerit exsudat, et exhumescit.
This has now been for some time absolutely disregarded. No. 117. Saturday, July 14, 1711. Addison. ... Ipsi sibi somnia fingunt. Virg. There are some Opinions in which a Man should stand Neuter, without engaging his Assent to one side or the other.
The foster-brother in the East is held dear as, and often dearer than, kith and kin. Quirinus Post mediam noctem visus, quum somnia vera. Edit. "Maghzal ;" a more favourite comparison is with a tooth pick. Both are used by Nizami and Al-Hariri, the most "elegant" of Arab writers. I have not thought it necessary to preserve the monorhyme.

Kant pined to see Swedenborg himself, and waited eagerly for his book, 'Arcana Coelestia. At last he obtained this work, at the ransom, ruinous to Kant at that time, of 7£. But he was disappointed with what he read, and in 'Träume eines Geistersehers, made a somewhat sarcastic attempt at a metaphysical theory of apparitions. 'Velut aegri somnia vanae Finguntur species' is his motto.
Somnia, terrores magicos, miracula, sagas, Nocturnos lemures, portentaque Thessala rides? HOR., Ep. ii. 2, 208. Visions and magic spells, can you despise, And laugh at witches, ghosts, and prodigies? Going yesterday to dine with an old acquaintance, I had the misfortune to find his whole family very much dejected.
And as one often represents to oneself something pleasing, one makes it easy to imagine, and one thinks it also easy to put into effect, whence it comes that one persuades oneself easily of what one wishes. Et qui amant ipsi sibi somnia fingunt.
This is, no doubt, mainly a question of diet, exercise, efficient ventilation, and a wise distribution of hours, but it is also largely influenced by moral causes. Somnia quæ mentes ludunt volitantibus umbris, Nec delubra deum, nec ab æthere numina mittunt, Sed sibi quisque facit.
Yet in this tale, incongruous and disjointed as the dream of a sick man, velut aegri somnia, he has interspersed some lines, and even whole stanzas, to which the poet or the painter may turn again and again with delight, though the common reader will scarce find them sufficient to redeem the want of interest that pervades the whole.
