Mild, calm, serene, wide spreads the noontide blaze,
While thick the gossamer waves wanton in the rays.

E come la via nostra e il duro e fello
destin ci trasse, uscimmo una matina
sopra la bella spiaggia, ove un castello
siede sul mar, de la

You must in every possible way, O King, govern your words and actions by the rule of piety that you may have the consciousness that you are maintaining virtue and that you never choose to gratify
yourself
at the expense of reason and never by abusing your power do [216] despite to righteousness.

Mostly these were: its determination to explain history absolutely and com- pletely; its disdain for factual
experience
and verification through building a fictitious and logically coherent world presented as model; a persuasive ideology, assimilated by the subjects as an unshakable conviction; an omnipresent and arbitrary terror.

Les Amours de Cassandre: CLX
Now, when Jupiter, fired by his lusts,
Wants to
conceive
the jewels of his eyes,
And with the heat of his burning thighs
Fills Juno's moist womb with his thrusts:
Now, when the sea, or when violent gusts
Of wind grant way to great ships of war,
And when the nightingale, in forest far,
Renews her grievance against Tereus:
Now, when the meadows and when the flowers
With thousands upon thousands of colours
Paint the breast of the earth so bright all round,
Alone and thoughtful among the secret cliffs,
With a silent heart I tell over my regrets,
And through the woods I go, hiding my wound.

There's never a moment's rest allowed:
Now here, now there, the
changing
breeze
Swings us, as it wishes, ceaselessly,
Beaks pricking us more than a cobbler's awl.
