Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bon-Mots of the Eighteenth Century "A penetrating wit hath an air of divination." -La Rochefoucault. "True wit is nature to advantage drest Oft thought before, but ne´er so well exprest." - Pope. "Wit may be more rigorously and philosophically considered as a kind of concordia discors - a combination of dissimilar images or discovery of occult resemblances in things apparently unlike." -Johnson. "Nothing is so much admired, and so little understood as wit." - Addison. "Tell me, oh tell, what kind of thing is wit, Thon who master art of it? A thousand different shapes it bears, Comely in thousand shapes appears. Yonder we see it plain; and here ´tis now, Like spirits, in a place, we know not how." - Cowley. "Were we, in fine, obliged ever to talk like philosophers, assigning dry reasons for every thing, and dropping grave sentences upon all occasions, would it not much deaden human life, and make ordinary conversation exceedingly to languish?" -Barrow.
