Thus have we now dealt with two of the three beams of man's knowledge; that is, RADIUS DIRECTUS, which is referred to nature; RADIUS REFRACTUS, which is referred to God, and cannot report truly because of the inequality of the MEDIUM.

You go upstairs and lay down on a cot, and when you get some sleep we'll talk it over.'"英文原著 · 《Heart of the West》
These guardians of the cow lounged about, each with a brown cigarette paper in his hand, and gently but unceasingly cursed Sam Revell, the storekeeper. Sam stood in the door, snapping the red elastic bands on his pink madras shirtsleeves and looking down affectionately at the only pair of tan shoes within a forty-mile radius. His offence had been serious, and he was divided between humble apology and admiration for the beauty of his raiment. He had allowed the ranch stock of "smoking" to become exhausted.英文原著 · 《Heart of the West》
