vertiginosus

Updated: May 15, 2025

But now that I have a little thrown off the stupor, now that kindly Time has a little balmed my cruel wounds, I come back to my books and to you, to the animi remissionem of Cicero, to these gentle sympathizers and faithful solacements, to old studies and ancient pursuits. There is a Latin line, I know not whose, but Swift was fond of quoting it, "Vertiginosus, inops, surdus, male gratus amicis,"
