On the Cherubim; and on the Flaming Sword; and on the First-Born Child of Man, Cain First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 116 focus

But the mind is my peculiar place of abode. Is this the language of the mistaken conjecturer, of the former of erroneous opinions, of the man out of his mind, of the fool, of him who is found to be destitute of his senses through a trance, or through melancholy, or from old age? Will any one then say, reason is my possession, or the organs of voice are my possession? Has not a very slight pretext of disease disabled the voice? has it not sewn up the mouths of even very eloquent men? Has not an expectation of danger, when it has come upon men, rendered myriads speechless?
