May we assume then, I said, that wisdom, viewed in this new light
merely as a knowledge of knowledge and ignorance, has this advantage:-that
he who possesses such knowledge will more easily learn
anything
which
he learns; and that everything will be clearer to him, because, in
addition to the knowledge of individuals, he sees the science, and
this also will better enable him to test the knowledge which others
have of what he knows himself; whereas the enquirer who is without
this knowledge may be supposed to have a feebler and weaker insight?

Après avoir regardé par le coin du rideau si Eulalie avait refermé la
porte: «Les personnes flatteuses savent se faire bien venir et
ramasser les pépettes; mais patience, le bon Dieu les punit toutes par
un beau jour», disait-elle, avec le regard latéral et
l’insinuation
de
Joas pensant exclusivement à Athalie quand il dit:

Adorno-The Essay As Form |
|
But to our subject: a brave Tartar khan--
Or 'sultan,' as the author (to whose nod
In prose I bend my humble verse) doth call
This chieftain--somehow would not yield at all:
But flank'd by five brave sons (such is polygamy,
That she spawns warriors by the score, where none
Are
prosecuted
for that false crime bigamy),
He never would believe the city won
While courage clung but to a single twig.
