Muovesi l’amante per la cos’amata come il senso e la sensibile e con seco s’unisce e fassi una cosa
medesima.
L’opera è la prima cosa che nasce dell’unione. Se la cosa amata è vile, l’amante si fa vile.
Quando la cosa unita è conveniente al suo unitore,
li seguita dilettazione e piacere e sadisfazione.
Quando l’amante è giunto all’amato, lì si riposa.
Quando il peso è posato, lì si riposa.
La cosa cognusciuta col nostro intelletto.
Muovesi l’amante

Ho modi de ponti leggerissimi et forti, et atti a portare facilissimamente, et cum quelli seguire, & alcuna volta fuggire li inimici, et altri securi et
inoffensivi da foco et battaglia, facili e commodi da levare et ponere. Et modi de arder et disfare quelli de l'inimico.
So in la obsidione de una terra toglier via l'acqua de' fossi, et fare infiniti
ponti, ghatti et scale et altri instrumenti pertinenti ad dicta expedizione.
In tempo di pace credo satisfare benissimo a paragone de omni altro in architectura, in composizione di edificii publici et privati, et in conducer acqua
da uno loco ad uno altro.
Item, conducerò in scultura di marmore, di bronzo et di terra, similiter
in pictura, ciò che si possa fare ad paragone de omni altro, et sia chi vole.

Is this a moral imperative?
Everywhere you look, there’s devices for free that have everything you need to make anything do
anything.
...the world is full of capacious, capable, disposable junk and it cries out to be used again.
