As for Albert and Franz, they essayed not to escape from their ciceronian tyrants; and, indeed, it would have been so much the more difficult to break their bondage, as the guides alone are permitted to visit these monuments with torches in their hands.

  • As for Albert and Franz, they essayed not to escape from their ciceronian tyrants; and, indeed, it would have been so much the more difficult to break their bondage, as the guides alone are permitted to visit these monuments with torches in their hands. —  The Count of Monte Cristo
  • It is a little odd to be operating with two calendars (I celebrated the English Masses of the Epiphany on Sunday) but amid such troubles, Fr Charles and I recall the words of the hymn: "prrroblems of life, you 'elp us to face ..." as well as the phrase in which Gaudium et Spes shakes off the straightjacket of ciceronian style, when speaking "de quibusdam problematibus urgentioribus"; -) —  The hermeneutic of continuity
