Notes
"In the first instance, no man should think of death. Nothing should distress him, but all his thoughts should be directed to pleasing, agreeable and delicious things. Beautiful landscapes, fine gardens should be visited, particularly when aromatic plants are flowering. Listening to beautiful, melodious songs is wholesome. The contemplating of gold and silver and other precious stones is comforting to the heart." - Italian advice against The Great Dying.
