Here is today's emblem by
Joachim Camerarius, 1:91. In the emblem there are the individual ears of grain,
spicae, which are put into small bundles and which you can now see is a large bundle,
(tibi) est cernere fascem. In the same way, then, from little things,
a parvis, we can proceed step by step to greater rewards! This motto about
de parvis, grandis acervus is a great motto for bloggers, I think - with one post after another, I hope to end up with a book of Latin distich poetry... eventually!
