i_o wonder_v not_o that_o some_o article_n shall_v rather_o surprise_v and_o dazzle_v my_o faculty_n than_o enlighten_v they_o to_o expect_v otherwise_o be_v to_o forget_v the_o nature_n of_o

be_v weigh_v the_o shallowness_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o the_o depth_n of_o mystery_n no_o more_o than_o in_o a_o tedious_a long_a journey_n our_o eye_n be_v dim_a and_o the_o way_n unknown_a
