Quidquid hoc est
Whatever this is
Quare habe tibi quidquid hoc libelli
qualecumque . . . –Catullus
Wherefore have for yourself
whatever this is of a little book
and of whatever sort . . .
Sī aliō mē nōn invenias,
hīc erō. –hh
If you should not find elsewhere
I will be here.
ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μοῦσα, πολύτροπον . . –Od.
Tell me, muse, of the man (ἄνδρα) of many turns (πολύτροπον)
The knowledge of reality is always in some measure
a secret knowledge. It is a kind of death.
–Yeats, Autobiographies, p. 482
Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
–Yeats, “The Coming of Wisdom With Time”
