Lucretius

Spring, Order, Infinite Time

Titus Lucretius Carus, Lucretius, C. H. Sisson (2003). “De Rerum Natura”, p.41, Psychology Press

Many animals even now spring out of the soil, Coalescing from the rains and the heat of the sun. Small wonder, then, if more and bigger creatures, Full-formed, arose from the new young earth and sky. The breed, for instance, of the dappled birds Shucked off their eggshells in the springtime, as Crickets in summer will slip their slight cocoons All by themselves, and search for food and life. Earth gave you, then, the first of mortal kinds, For all the fields were soaked with warmth and moisture.

Lucretius

Spring, World, Matter

Lucretius (2013). “The Way Things Are”, p.83, Simon and Schuster

When bodies spring apart, because the air Somehow condenses, wander they from truth: For then a void is formed, where none before; And, too, a void is filled which was before.

Lucretius
