REDIVIVUS.

It is difficult to suddenly cast off a long-held love. original: Difficile est longum subito deponere amorem. This line is famously from the Roman poet Catullus (76.13), though the author here associates it with the general sentiment of classical poets.

A hidden love lasts, if you do not withdraw from your lover. original: Durat amor tectus, si non ab amante recedas.
Why should one reproach such people for an accustomed love of Philosophy / from which they desire to philosophize as if from the middle ground between those who are ignorant and those who are knowledgeable original: tanquam è medio ignorantium & scientium / as was discussed, for instance, in Plato’s Symposium original: convivio Platonis. The Symposium is Plato’s famous dialogue on the nature of love (Eros), where love is described as a bridge between the human and the divine.. Marsilio Ficino A 15th-century Italian scholar who was instrumental in the revival of Plato during the Renaissance says not poorly in his commentary on the Euthydemus One of Plato's dialogues focusing on logic and education: Philosophy must be practiced entirely: since Philosophy itself is a divine thing, and such a precious possession must not be abandoned either because of its false professors or because of its lying detractors. original: omninò esse philosophandum: quandoquidem Philosophia ipsa sit res divina, neq; vel ob falsos ejus Professores, vel ob mendaces ejus calumniatores dimittendam esse possessionem adeò preciosam. Who then, even today, would not gladly remain with their accustomed philosophy?
