Da Vinci Notes #21 - Ignorance
INTRODUCTION TO PERSPECTIVE:--THAT IS OF THE FUNCTION OF THE EYE.
Behold here O reader! a thing concerning which we cannot trust our
forefathers, the ancients, who tried to define what the Soul and
Life are--which are beyond proof, whereas those things, which can at
any time be clearly known and proved by experience, remained for
many ages unknown or falsely understood.
The eye, whose function we so certainly know by experience, has,
down to my own time, been defined by an infinite number of authors
as one thing; but I find, by experience, that it is quite another.
Keith's Ideas:
1. People can believe in something that haven't been proven.
2. People can ignore something that have been proven.
3. Very common things, can easily be misunderstood.
