他说，它的存在在于被感知：在经院学者的拉丁语中， 它的“esse” 是“percipi” 。

If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores.

如果他的智慧不善于区分或发现差异，就让他去研究经院的人；因为他们是cymini sectores。

The things that had filled his days seemed now like a nursery parody of life, or like the wrangles of mediaeval schoolmen over metaphysical terms that nobody had ever understood.

那些充斥着他生活的事情现在看起来就像是对生活的托儿所模仿，或者就像中世纪的学者们对没有人理解的形而上学术语的争论。
