"Non multum praestant, sed cito; non subest uera uis nec penitus inmissis radicibus nititur, ut quae summo solo sparsa sund semina celerius se effundunt et imitatae spicas herbulae inanibus aristis ante messem flauescunt. Placent haec annis comparata; deinde stat profectus, admiratio decrescit" (Institutio Oratorio)
"They have no real power, and what they have is but of shallow growth; it is as when we cast seed on the surface of the soil; it springs up too rapidly, the blade apes the loaded ear, and yellows ere harvest time, but bears no grain. Such tricks please us when we contrast them with the performer's age, but progress soon stops and our admiration withers away."
Happy 2008! New beginnings again. So this year I've decided to make some resolutions, and there's also "the list" which I got on my 21st, and I am planning to do everything on the list!. Here's looking forward to a great year ahead!
