The Fragments of the Work of Heraclitus of Ephesus on Nature Translated from the Greek Text of Bywater, with an Introduction Historical and Critical (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Fragments of the Work of Heraclitus of Ephesus on Nature: Translated From the Greek d104 of Bywater, With an Introduction Historical and Critical All thoughts, all creeds, all dreams are All visions wild and strange; Man is the measure of all truth Unto himself. All truth is change, All men do walk in Sleep, and all Have faith in that they dream For all things are as they seem to all, And all things flow like a stream. There is no rest, no calm, no pause, Nor good nor ill, nor light nor Shade, Nor essence nor eternal laws For nothing is, but all is made. But if I dream that all these are, They are to me for that I dream; For all things are as they seem to all, And all things flow like a stream. Argal - this very Opinion is only true relatively to the flowing philosophers. Tennyson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
