“Animula vagula blandula, hospes comesque corporis, quae nunc abībis in loca pallidula, rigida, nūdula,”

Translation by Wikisource Little soul, wandering, pleasing, guest and companion of the body, which now go away in places pale, stiff, bare, and will not jest as you do...

“Has igitur rationes materialem necessitatem respicientes ita puto sufficere, ut hoc loco non existimem philosophandum de perfectione et pulrhritudine vel nobilitate figurae rhombicae: neque satagendum, ut essentia animulae quae est in ape, ex contemplatione figurae, quam fabricatur, eliciatur.”

These therefore are the reasons considering the material necessity, so I think it sufficient that at this point I do not consider philosophizing about the perfection, beauty, or nobility of the rhombic shape, nor fussing that the essence of the small soul which is in the bee is elicited from a meditation on the shape that is built.
