審問官第二章「杳体」
The rat, the mouse, the fox, the rabbet; watch the roots; the lion, the tyger, the horse, the elephant, watch the fruits.
The cistern contains: the fountain overflows.
One thought fills immensity.
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth.
The eagle never lost so much time, as when he submitted to learn of the crow.
The fox provides for himself. but God provides for the lion.
Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.
He who has suffer'd you to impose on him knows you.
As the plow follows words, so God rewards prayers.
The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Expect poison from the standing water.
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
Listen to the fools reproach! it is a kingly title!
The eyes of fire, the nostrils of air, the mouth of water, the beard of earth.
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow; nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
The thankful reciever bears a plentiful harvest.
If others bad not been foolish, we should be so.
The soul of sweet delight can never be defil'd.
When thou seest an Eagle, thou seest a portion of Genius. lift up thy head!
As the catterpiller chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
To create a little flower is the labour of ages.
Damn braces: Bless relaxes.
The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest.
Prayers plow not! Praises reap not!
Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
The head Sublime, the heart Pathos, the genitals Beauty, the hands & feet Proportion.
As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.
The crow wish'd every thing was black, the owl, that every thing was white.
Exuberance is Beauty.
If the lion was advised by the fox. he would be cunning.
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.
Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.
Where man is not, nature is barren.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believ'd.
Enough! or Too much.
地獄の諺

あなたの荷馬車と犂(すき)とを死の骨の上で駆り給へ。
やり過ぎる過剰をして辿りし道筋は智の王宮に導きし
思慮深さは無能により得られし裕福で醜悪な年老いた処女なり。

光なし面(おもて)を与へられしものは決して星に為れず。
永劫は時が創りし愛にある。
忙しき蜜蜂には哀しむ暇などなし。
愚なる時間は時計で計られし、しかし、智の時間は、時計では計れず。

獅子の咆哮、狼の遠吠へ、嵐の海の憤怒そして破壊する剣は人間の目には偉大過ぎる永遠の一部なり。
狐は己ではなく罠を非難す。
歓びは受胎せし。「哀しみ」は産まれし。
男は獅子の凶暴を着用し、女は羊の毛を纏へ。
鳥には巣を、蜘蛛には蜘蛛の巣を、人間には友愛を。
