tkl.1.3.07	What other Foe to man works such annoy?

tkl.2.3.14	The light (of Fame) will never be gained by him who gains not the trifling reputation of having fought an unlearned Foe().
tkl.2.3.15	Though (one s Foe is) aware or not of one s misfortune one should act so as neither to join nor separate (from him).
tkl.3.2.08	O eve, why art thou Foe! thou dost renew my grief.
tkl.3.2.10	O Heart, as a Foe, can I abandon utterly
tkl.3.2.11	The dignity that seeks not him who acts as Foe,
