I fear I was having an off day at the time, but I suspect it may be from one of Seneca's letters. Can anyone verify/identify this?Also, can anyone translate this quote into decent English? Whatever I put sounds clumsy to me! The quote runs: omnium paedagogia oblita facie vehuntur, ne sol, ne frigus teneram cutem laedat; turpe est neminem esse in comitatu tuo puerorum, cuius sana facies medicamentum desideret. Thanks as always in advance (and a public thank-you to Owen Cramer whose kindness in photcopying and faxing last week went far beyond the call of duty), Lisa Maurice .
