What song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women, though puzzling questions, are not beyond all conjecture.
Thomas Browne
Image
Festination may prove Precipitation Deliberating delay may be wise cunctation.
Thomas Browne
Image

Thomas Browne
Image
Where I cannot satisfy my reason, I love to humour my fancy.
Thomas Browne
