[1] _Note added by transcriber_: From the translation of Dante's _Il
Convito_ (The Banquet) by Elizabeth Sayer Price (in Project Gutenberg:

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.

of Goethe's _Faust_ by Bayard Taylor (in Project Gutenberg:

A mind once formed, is never suited after;
One yet in growth will ever grateful be.
[Funny Person, in Goethe’s Faust]
