I caught sight of this evocative word just now, "doceamus".
Subjunctive, first person plural; prescriptive in effect, yet not
imperative:
that we SHOULD teach...
Nothing of the simple nor straight-forward. A whiff of the common room,
the
pipe smoke of temps longues perdues. Abstruse, redolent of the dusty
foot-note.
Stuffy. Clerical. Refined. Recherche'. One expects to see an 'Igitur'
qualifier.
