I know not what , or charm. And of the I know not what (in discourse, in thoughts and in style, etc.). It belongs to the marvelous. It consists in hiding art and the hand, and in a certain indefiniteness of symmetry and forms that one feels without perceiving them. It is a kind of attractiveness in which nature and chance seem to have a greater part than the will. Everything too pronounced loses the I know not what by that very fact .
too correct, opposed to the I know not what. And consequently grammar the enemy of rhetoric.

Note. the difference in the word mouton when used by the cook or by the shepherd. And in pronunciation: He is gentle as a mouton ; or: Give me some mouton .

and and on the but of this sentence. The but belongs more to the character of the moderns, the and to that of the ancients. The but here is a reflection, and the and a simple account. The and is therefore better. For judgment belongs to men, but intuition belongs to the gods. They see everything instead of judging.

G-l-rd. He flowered in the desert.
T129. The repeated phrase receives the same literal English form each time, preserving its substantivized strangeness. The second dependent Of, art and hand, felt/perceived distinction, seems qualification and nature/chance/will contrast remain. Indefiniteness contextually renders indécision in symmetry and forms without reducing it to a personal failure to decide. The first two formula occurrences print scais , while the third prints sais ; the English counterpart remains the same. Only the three English formula spans and the paragraph’s final period are italic; their preceding articles and the by that very fact phrase between the third formula and final period remain roman. English adds a comma before or charm without altering the French punctuation.
T368. The complete 7 octobre governs two paragraphs. Four occurrences of the formula are preserved: the third literally has sais without c , while the first, second and fourth have scais . Apercevoir has one p ; the cer-/taine and pro-/noncé wraps are complete. The relative senses, semblent qualification and comparative remain. In the French source, the first two formula spans are italic without adjacent roman articles; the third formula and its period, trop correct with its comma, and the fourth formula and its period form the later marked spans. The second paragraph remains nominal, without a supplied finite verb.
T130. Both nominal fragments, repeated metalinguistic phrase and consequential And remain. No finite verb or moderating exception is supplied. Only too correct with its comma and I know not what with its terminal period carry the corresponding source italics; their preceding articles remain roman.
T131. The 1798 Académie defines the feminine substantive judiciaire as the faculty of judging and marks it familiar; jugement also includes the faculty of judging things. The distinct English labels preserve Joubert’s local opposition, not a fixed technical distinction certified by the dictionary. Both repeated much relations, whatever concession and action/operation pair remain. Coloring follows American spelling; straight preserves droites without silently deciding between correctness and directness. Both always terms and final incompleteness remain. The literal French complettes retains its double t ; ordinary English complete carries no corresponding spelling anomaly.
T369. The complete 12 octobre , four beaucoup forms, two negatives, whatever concession, two possessives and two toujours forms remain. Judiciaire is literal and not replaced by jugement ; complettes has tt . The essentielle-/ment and ins-/tantanées wraps are complete. The source specialist’s facsimile collation records the 878 nuï anomaly, ?. call boundary, paired vuë marks, first paragraph’s first two scais forms versus its third sais , and the second paragraph’s scais , all five italic scopes and complete dates, with all stated individual reading qualifications retained.
T133. Mouton is deliberately retained in all three positions because the entry concerns the differing use and pronunciation of the same French word. It means sheep in the shepherd comparison and mutton in the cook’s request; substituting two English words in the body would conceal that shared form. The lowercase continuation after Note and both example constructions remain. The damaged day is not inferred. Only Note. through its period and the first mouton carry the corresponding source italics; the other two mouton examples remain roman. Only terminal 7 survives in the first date, […]7 octobre. ; no preceding digit or complete day is inferred.
T370. Only the terminal 7 is securely readable at the damaged left date edge. The preceding slot is not legible enough to establish a digit or its extent; no complete day is inferred. All body openings remain identifiable despite gutter abrasion. In the French source, Nota. through its period and only the first mouton are italic. The lowercase la after Nota. , two example colons and semicolon remain; the repeated French noun is not replaced by two different nouns.
T134. The negative/positive contrast and emphatic very remain. Light and clarity stay distinct rather than being treated as synonyms or replaced by a biographical explanation.
T371. The separate undated paragraph retains the negative/positive distinction and degree fort ; all text is roman.
T135. The attribution is the printed source’s, not a separately authenticated quotation. The repeated rarely, contrasting but/and alternative and three praised qualities remain; the English is freshly rendered from the printed French.
T372. The complete 14 governs three separately indented paragraphs. The first quotation has its period before its closing guillemet; the second closes without an internal period before the following colon. The first but/and alternative and repeated rarement remain; no external Hippocratic text is substituted. Seven metalinguistic terms in paragraph 2 are italic: four et and three mais . Their articles and the ordinary conjunctions remain roman. The native strip supports the type distinction; the juge-/ment and diffici-/lement wraps are complete. The comparative and judgment/intuition contrast remain.
T136. All seven metalinguistic and/but terms retain their repeated English forms and corresponding source italics: four and and three but. Their articles and ordinary conjunctions remain roman. The comparative, therefore, judgment/intuition contrast and gods’ seeing-all remain. The awkward article before a mentioned word is intentional and does not add a quotation to the source.
T137. The second example changes rarely recover to recover with difficulty, as printed. The colon and demonstrative comparison remain in a separate paragraph of the same entry.
T138. The anonymous demand, lack, small/large words and complete building metaphor remain. Dressed stones renders pierres de taille ; close-grained renders lié contextually as the marble’s cohesion. The complete 1798 Académie entry for Lier supports physical joining and consistency, but does not specifically define marble grain. The historical name is not expanded to a new identity or bibliographical claim.
T373. The undated paragraph retains scavoir and quarrées , the initial name fragment, emphatic lui-même , perfect/imperfect distinction, repeated tout and material metaphors. Lié is literal, with no substituted technical stonework term. All text is roman.
T139. The universal all, nourishment and surprising love-of-danger formulation remain, without explaining away the paradox. English adds a comma before and to separate the two coordinated assertions; the French has none at that point.
T374. The independent undated paragraph retains Toutes , the relative object and coordinated fear predicate, with no comma supplied in French before et .
T140. Always, perfect and all repeated thoughts/simplicity terms remain. The two dash-separated topic fragments and capital Of follow the printed construction; no work or scene is identified.
T141. The mixed Why-and-of topic construction remains, with no supplied predicate for the final three comparisons. The negative perfect and less/more/more sequence retain their force. English uses a comma before and therefore where the source has a semicolon; the comparisons and dependent topic construction remain unchanged.
T376. The full 19 remains. Pourquoi coordinates with de ceux without supplying a main predicate. Present/passive and negative perfect remain distinct; in the French source, moins/plus/plus and the semicolon before et par ainsi are preserved.
T142. The opaque abbreviated name is not expanded. Flowered retains the bodily image and possible figurative flourishing; no location or biography is asserted.
T377. The opaque baseline abbreviation literally reads G-l-rd. , with tall l and two hyphens; native 411 agrees. No expanded identity or place is inferred.
T143. The nominal fragment and poor/abundant contrast remain. House is left open between dwelling and household; no particular institution is supplied. The literal French abbondante retains its double b ; ordinary English abundant does not reproduce that spelling.
T378. Abbondante literally has double b in color and native 411. The formulation remains nominal, with no supplied verb or institutional referent.
