Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.
Slowly poetry becomes visual because it paints images, but it is also musical: it unites two arts into one.
The fountains of sacred rivers flow upwards (i.e., everything is turned topsy turvy.)
