Τῇ περ ῤηίστη· βιοτὴ πέλει ἆνθρώποισιν·

Οὐ νιφετὸς, οὕτ’ ἂρ χειμὼν πολὺς οὔτε ποτ’ ὄμβρος,

Ἁλλ’αἰεὶ Ζεφύροιο λιγὺ πνείοντας ἀήτας

‘Ωκεανὸς ἀνίησιν ἀναψὐκειν ἀνθρώπους·

Homer, Od. iv.

Omnia bene describere, quæ in hoc mundo a Deo facta, aut naturæ creatæ viribus elaborata fuerunt, opus est non unius hominis, nec unius ævi. Hinc Faunæ et Floræ utilissimæ; hinc monographi præstantissimi.
