CW: Excerpt from The Autobiography of Giambattista Vico
“Forever praised be Providence, which when the weak sight of mortals sees in it nothing but stern justice, then most of all is at work on a crowning mercy!”
Translated from the Italian by Max Harold Fisch and Thomas Goddard Bergin, quote is actually in their introduction, from a private letter Vico sent on Oct 25, 1725.
