Juvenal

Without favor, art is like a wind-mill without wind.

Cries as deafening, as the shout that breaks from the bribed audience, when Fesidius speaks.

Fierce as a tigress plundered of her young.

Apples, as fragrant, and as bright a hue, as those which in Alcinou’s gardens grew, mellowed by constant sunshine; or as those, which graced the Hesperides, in burnished rows.

Invisible as air.

Shouts like Egypt, when her priests have found,
A new Osiris, for the old one drowned.
