.. was the phrase written on the pediment of the temple of Delphi in ancient Greece.
-----
«Noli foras ire, in teipsum redi; in interiore homine habitat veritas; et si tuam naturam mutabilem
inveneris, transcende et teipsum.»
"Do not go outside of yourself, but return to within yourself; truth dwells in the
inner man; and if you find that your nature is changeable, transcend yourself".
-Aurelio Agostino d'Ippona, le Confessioni -
One night I was walking on a meadow near a convent. It was dark .... I stopped because I
felt a presence. I stood still, almost without breathing. Suddenly a huge black spot,
blacker than the night, appeared in front of me. Its hooves and Its neighing broke the
silence. It passed me, running as fast as the wind. I felt for a moment that its soul had
crossed mine.
"An animal with higher intellect,
more noble, able - one to rule the rest:
such was the living thing the earth still lacked.
Then man was born. Either the Architect
of All, the author of the universe,
in order to beget a better world,
created man from seed divine - or else
Prometheus, son of Iapetus, made man
by mixing new-made earth with fresh rainwater
(for earth had only recently been set
apart from heaven, and the earth still kept
seeds of the sky - remains of their shared birth);
and when he fashioned man, his mold recalled
the masters of all things, the gods. And while
all other animals are bent, head down,
and fix their gaze upon the ground, to man
he gave a face that is held high; he had
man stand erect, his eyes upon the stars."
( Ovidio - The Metamorphoses -)
