natural_a heat_n but_o because_o we_o have_v great_a appetite_n to_o the_o new_a fruit_n which_o be_v then_o in_o abundance_n and_o likewise_o that_o bread_n which_o be_v our_o daily_a food_n be_v

this_o that_o the_o retain_v memory_n consist_v in_o the_o dry_a and_o hard_a temperature_n of_o the_o brain_n nevertheless_o it_o hinder_v the_o vivacity_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o yet_o if_o the_o

that_o we_o bethink_v ourselves_o of_o dream_n see_v that_o they_o be_v not_o thing_n do_v but_o representation_n to_o the_o interior_a sense_n a._n because_o that_o the_o soul_n than_o represent_v

it_o be_v because_o that_o we_o see_v the_o image_n represent_v we_o in_o the_o mirror_n only_o by_o reflection_n and_o not_o by_o imprint_n or_o grave_v in_o solid_a matter_n and_o as_o it_o be_v
