______________Cui lecta potenter erit res,

Nec facundia deseret hunc, nec lucidus ordo;

Verbaque provisam rem non invita sequuntur.

Hor. de Arte Poet.

‘Whoever’s mind is fully possessed with the fervent desire to know good things, and with the dearest charity to infuse the knowledge of them into others—when such a man should speak, his words, like so many nimble and airy servitors, trip about him at command, and in well-ordered files, as he would wish, fall aptly into their own places.’ Milton.
