255/323 I have read faithfully your favorite journals, your most esteemed authors. I find everywhere only vain and puerile _entites_; nowhere do I discover an idea. Thus the SOPORIFIC POWER of opium, of which Sganarelle speaks, and the PECCANT HUMORS of ancient medicine, are _entites_. The _entite_ is the support of those who do not wish to confess their ignorance. It is incomprehensible; or, as St.Paul says, the _argumentum non apparentium_. |
