hello!

is anyone aware of what the connection between Pascal's Pensees 33
and the second Meditation?
Pascal 33 ''Poetical beauty.--As we speak of poetical beauty, so
ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we
do not do so; and the reason is that we know well what is the object
of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the
object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not
know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry. We do not
know the natural model which we ought to imitate; and through lack of
this knowledge, we have coined fantastic terms, "The golden
age," "The wonder of our times," "Fatal," etc., and call this jargon
poetical beauty.
But whoever imagines a woman after this model, which consists in
saying little things in big words, will see a pretty girl adorned
with mirrors and chains, at whom he will smile; because we know
better wherein consists the charm of woman than the charm of verse.
But those who are ignorant would admire her in this dress, and there
are many villages in which she would be taken for the queen; hence we
call sonnets made after this model "Village Queens."''

Our teacher told us that there is a definite link between this
fragment and some fragment in Descartes Second Meditation, but I just
cannot see it... Can anyone help me?

thanks a lot
