Genuine simplicity of heart is an healing and cementing principle.
Էջ 142 - ... which had a continued plot apart from the comedy, as follows. There was, in the first place, the battle of these earthborn brothers, showing, under the fabulous allegory of Jason, how wars prevail among neighbours who ought to maintain peace.
