FRAGMENTS

The Collected Wisdom of HERACLITUS

1

The Word proves

those first hearing it

as numb to understanding

as the ones who have not heard.

Yet all things follow from the Word.

Some, blundering

with what I set before you,

try in vain with empty talk

to separate the essences of things

and say how each thing truly is.

And all the rest make no attempt.

They no more see

how they behave broad waking

than remember clearly

what they did asleep.

2

For wisdom, listen

not to me but to the Word,

and know that all is one.
