Note 143 — LECTURE IV. THE POETRY, WIT, AND WISDOM OF PROVERBS.
Reading edition
“Extremes meet. Truths, of all others the most awful and interesting, are too often considered as so true, that they lose all the power of truths, and lie bed-ridden in the dormitory of the soul, side by side with the most despised and exploded errors.”—Coleridge, Aids to Reflection.
