Image Title: Remediation Arrives with Difficulty, Ruination with Ease

Description: The pictura of this emblem by the Italian jurist and writer Andrea Alciati (1492 – 1550 CE) features Atë, the Greek goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and folly, flying ahead of Zeus’ lame daughters, the Litae, who follow Atë, healing the devastation she wreaks. The subscriptio draws the less that restoration only comes after a long passage of time.
