To devote good talents to write history or investigate nature, was simple waste: for at the Lord's coming, history and science would no longer be learned by these feeble appliances of ours. Thus an inevitable deduction from the doctrine of the apostles, was, that "we must work for speedy results only." Vitæ summa brevis spem nos vetat inchoare longam.
Dr. Vaughan, in eulogistic language, says: "The 'Summa Theologica' may be likened to one of the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages, infinite in detail but massive in the grouping of pillars and arches, forming a complete unity that must have taxed the brain of the architect to its greatest extent.
The argument in favour of this construction is strengthened by a reference to the article of the Summa dealing with restitution, where it is pointed out that a man may suffer in two ways first, by being deprived of what he actually has, and, second, by being prevented from obtaining what he was on his way to obtain.
Ruskin has nearly frightened the lovers of Art; I said that the Summa was to the painters there as good vantage ground as any novel of Sacchetti's. I now say that Luigi Pulci and his kindred so treated the love-lore which was solemn mystery to Guinicelli and Lapo and Fazio, or the young Dante shuddering before his lord of terrible aspect.
These things, however, will come in their proper place. Summa. After Duke Barnim had reigned several years, with great blessing to his people, it happened that word came from Ruegenwald how that his brother, Duke Casimir, was sick. This was the Prince whom, we may remember, Sidonia had whipped with her irreverent hands upon his princely podex, when he was a little boy.
I don't suppose they could get along without you very well," she suggested. "I've neva been away except last summa, for a little while." "And where was you then?" "I was helping Mrs. Atwell." "Did you like it?" "I don't know," said Clementina. "It's pleasant to be whe'e things ah' going on." "Yes for young folks," said Mrs. Lander, whom the going on of things had long ceased to bring pleasure.
These usages are not found in the other works ascribed to Tacitus, nor any of the ancient Latin prose-writers; though common enough in the poets, the three instances being found in Virgil; the first in the Aeneid: "Cum litora fervere late Prospiceres arce ex summa:" Aen. "Vespere ab atro Consurgunt venti:" Aen. And "Graditur bellum ad crudele Camilla:" Ib.
Hegel writes elsewhere: 'The finite, as implicitly other than what it is, is forced to surrender its own immediate or natural being, and to turn suddenly into its opposite.... Dialectic is the universal and irresistible power before which nothing can stay.... Summum jus, summa injuria to drive an abstract right to excess is to commit injustice.... Extreme anarchy and extreme despotism lead to one another.
The monographists of the later fifteenth century treat usury and sale in considerable detail; many refinements are indicated which are not to be found in the Summa; but it is quite safe to say that none of these later writers ever pretended to supersede the teaching of Aquinas, who was always admitted to be the ultimate authority.
