Seite 68 - When two shall be one, and that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female.
Seite 432 - Par ma foi, il ya plus de quarante ans que je dis de la prose, sans que j'en susse rien; et je vous suis le plus obligé du monde de m'avoir appris cela.
