SWEDENBORG’S CORRESPONDENCE.
from here. I hope they have arrived safely; I wish it too,
because I alluded to them in some verses, which Magister
Unges will perhaps introduce into his dissertation; they are
as follows:
Sunt Gothiâ nuper spatiosa membra gigantis
Avecta, ast cerebro, ast ingenioque carent.
Fertilis hæc tellus alium nunc mittit alumnum ,
Viribus ingenii hic, corporis ille, valet.
(From Gothland came a giant’s bulky frame;
But brains and quickening intellect it lacked.
This fertile land a new alumnus sends ;
In mind gigantic this, as huge in body that.)
For this reason I wish the bones may not be delayed on
the way; the candidate who took charge of them seemed to
be obliging. Brother Eliezer * is probably by this time at
Upsal; I wish him all success, and rapid progress in his
studies. Brother Jesper62 has a strange illness; may God help
him through! With much kind love to sister Anna, I
commend you to the protection of the Highest, and remain
always
Your most obedient servant,
EMANUEL SWEDBERG.
Brunsbo, 6th March, 1710.

years of age. See Document 9, A , Table II, and Document 35.
