[249] The sentence which Plato wrote over his door, [Greek:  oudeis ageometraetos eioito], probably means, “Let no one enter who has not definite thoughts.”  So Goethe declared that outline went deepest into the mysteries of nature.

[272] See Niebuhr’s Lectures on the History of Rome, for facts concerning the Siculi.  The sound el appears in Keltic, Gael, Welsch, Welsh, Belgians, Gauls, Galatians, etc.  M. Grotefend (as quoted by Guigniaut, in his notes to Creuzer) accepts this Keltic origin of the Siculi, believing that they entered Italy from the northwest, and were gradually driven farther south till they reached Sicily.  Those who expelled them were the Pelasgic races, who passed from Asia, south of the Caspian and Black Seas, through Asia Minor and Greece, preceding the Hellenic races.  This accounts for the statement of Herodotus that the Pelasgi came from Lydia in Asia Minor, without our being obliged to assume that they came by sea,—­a fact highly improbable.  They were called Tyrrheanians, not from any city or king of Lydia, but, as M. Lepsius believes, from the Greek (Latin, turris), a tower, because of their Cyclopean masonry.  The Roman state, on this supposition, may have owed its origin to the union of the two great Aryan races, the Kelts and Pelasgi.
