* Verbo subito sumpta sententia est, quia de repentino oborta est, quasi velut in maceria lapides temerario iniectu poni necesse est, neque interiecto intrinsecus pondere neque colliniato pro fronte situ neque coniventibus ad regulam lineis, quippe qui structor orationis huius egomet non e meo monte lapidem directim caesum afferam, probe omnifariam complanatum, laeviter extimas oras ad unguem coaequatum, sed cuique operi accommodem vel inaequalitate aspera vel levitate lubrica vel angulis eminula vel rotunditate volubilia, sine regulae correctione et mensurae parilitate et perpendiculi sollertia.
I expressed my idea by speaking impromptu, since it came to me suddenly; almost as with a rough-set wall, one must lay the stones in a random order, without building an interior core, smoothing them with a plumb line, or aligning them with string. As the builder of this speech, I certainly bring no stone from my quarry precisely squared, nicely chiseled all around, its outer surfaces smoothly and exactly evened. No, into each of my works I put things that are sharp and uneven, or smooth and slippery, or protruding and angular, or round and unstable, not made straight with a rod, equal with a measure, or perpendicular with a plumb line.
