[Mentor:] Son of the wise Ulysses ... He who has not felt his weakness and the violence of his passions is not yet wise; for he does not yet understand himself and does not know how to distrust himself.--Francois de La Mothe-Fenelon,
Les Aventures de Telemaque, 1699 [1]
This is not a frivolous novel
That is offered here, reader, for your idleness;
A learned parable
Will make the truth glow in your mind. ...--"La Clef
de Telemaque," 1699 [2]
