FOOTNOTES:
[1] Note added by transcriber: From the translation of Dante's Il Convito (The Banquet) by Elizabeth Sayer Price (in [Project Gutenberg]: [http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/12867]):
And the Human Soul possessing the nobility of the highest power, which is Reason, participates in the Divine Nature, after the manner of an eternal Intelligence: for the Soul is ennobled and denuded of matter by that Sovereign Power in proportion as the Divine Light of Truth shines into it, as into an Angel; and Man is therefore called by the Philosophers the Divine Animal.
[2] Note added by the transcriber: From the translation of Goethe's Faust by Bayard Taylor (in [Project Gutenberg]: [http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14591]):
A mind once formed, is never suited after;
One yet in growth will ever grateful be.
[Funny Person, in Goethe’s Faust]
