Clothed, and in his right mind.
The social states of human kinds
Are made by multitudes of minds,
And after multitudes of years
A little human growth appears
Worth having, even to the soul
Who sees most plain it's not the whole.
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
Mensque pati durum sustinet segra nihil.
The sick mind can not bear anything harsh.
Ovid—Epistolæ Ex Ponto. I. 5. 18.
Mens sola loco non exulat.
The mind alone can not be exiled.
Ovid—Epistolæ Ex Ponto. IV. 9. 41.
Conscia mens recti famse mendacia risit.
A mind conscious of right laughs at the
falsehoods of rumour.
Ovid—Fasti. Bk. IV. 311.
Pro superi! quantum mortalia pectora csecae,
Noctis habent.
Heavens! what thick darkness pervades the
minds of men.
Ovid—Metamorphoses. VI. 472.
