We then saw what St. Jerome said of those who serve God and those who serve the world: "Each to the other we seem insane": Invicem insanire videmur. There is a never-ending duel between the two.

Folly was condemned to serve as a guide to Love whom she had blinded.

Jean de La Fontaine

History some truths contains, which well may serve
For lessons. In my work you will observe
Every thing speaks — yea e'en the very fish —
And what they say, to every man a dish
Serves up; and I of animals make choice
That men may get instruction from their voice.

Jean de La Fontaine
