Questa luce, cioÃ¨ la storia, Ã¨ spietata; essa ha questo di strano e di divino, e cioÃ¨ che quantunque sia luce, e precisamente perchÃ© Ã¨ luce, mette spesso dell'ombra l? dove si vedono raggi; dello stesso uomo fa due fantasmi differenti, e l'uno attacca l'altro, e ne fa giustizia, e le tenebre del despota lottano con lo splendore del capitano.

La tirannia segue il tiranno. E' una sventura per un uomo lasciare dietro di sÃ© dell'ombra che ha la forma sua.
