A curse on all those philosophers who will have it that none but the Gods are happy If they could but know what we have to put up with on men's account, they would not envy us our nectar and our ambrosia. They take Homer's word for it all, --the word of a blind quack; 'tis he who pronounces us blessed, and expatiates on heavenly glories, he who could not see in front of his own nose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
