Littera me pavit, nec quid sit littera novi.
In libri vixi, nec sum studiosor inde.
Exedi Musas, nec adhuc tamen ipsa profeci.
Literature has fed me, but I do not know what literature is.
I have lived in books, but I'm not any more studious for it.
I have devoured the Muses, but have not made any progress myself.
Symphosius, Riddle 16
