Philosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, t...hey then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow. Philosophy at first refutes errors. But if it is not stopped at this point, it goes on to attack truths. And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Ask me no more where Jove bestows, When June is past, the fading rose;... For in your beauty's orient deep These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.
Ask me no more whither do stray The golden atoms of the day; For in pure love heaven did prepare Those powders to enrich your hair.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
