Postremo, tanquam in speculum, in patinas, Demea, Inspicere jubeo, et moneo, quid facto usus sit. " ["This is too salt, that's burnt, that's not washed enough; that's well; remember to do so another time. Thus do I ever advise them to have things done properly, according to my capacity; and lastly, Demea, I command my cooks to look into every dish as if it were a mirror, and tell them what they should do. " --Terence, Adelph. , iii. 3, 71. ] And yet even the Greeks themselves very much admired ...and highly applaudedthe order and disposition that Paulus AEmilius observed in the feast hegave them at his return from Macedon. But I do not here speak ofeffects, I speak of words only.
I do not know whether it may have the same operation upon other men thatit has upon me, but when I hear our architects thunder out their bombastwords of pilasters, architraves, and cornices, of the Corinthian andDoric orders, and suchlike jargon, my imagination is presently possessedwith the palace of Apollidon; when, after all, I find them but the paltrypieces of my own kitchen door.
