While James and J are sleeping, I am reading Statius, who describes
Digna deae sedes, nitidis nec sordet ab astris...
...perspicui vivunt in marmore fontes.
nec servat natura vices: hic Sirius alget,
bruma tepet, versumque domus sibi temperat annum

A house worthy of the goddess, nor squalid after the shining stars...
...clear streams of water flow in marble.
Nor does nature serve in seasons, here the Summer is cool,
mid-winter is warm, and the house adjusts the turning year to itself.

...and Aquinas, who writes in the Summa Contra:
Caput 69, Quod Deus cognoscit infinita

ergo, frater iuvenior eius dixit ut cognoscit infinita plus unum.
