Oculorum, inquit Plato, est in nobis sensus acerrimus, quibus sapientiam non cernimus. quam illa ardentis amores excitaret sui! Cur tandem? an quod ita callida est, ut optime possit architectari voluptates? Cur iustitia laudatur? aut unde est hoc contritum vetustate proverbium: quicum in tenebris? hoc dictum in una re latissime patet, ut in omnibus factis re, non teste moveamur.
