That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,”

“But he [Bramhall] adds that we must subject them, according to that presentiality which they have in eternity, which he says cannot be done by them that conceive eternity to be an everlasting succession, but only by them that conceive it as an indivisible point. To which I answer, that as soon as I can conceive eternity to be an indivisible point, or anything be an everlasting succession, I will renounce all that I have written on this subject.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Within the regions of the air,
Compassed about with heavens fair,
Great tracts of land there may be found
Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
Where many numerous hosts
In those far distant coasts,
For other great and glorious ends,
Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
