Hey all you smarty pants out there, can anyone help a sister out? I am pushing my way through Book XV of Ovid's
The Metamorphoses and am trying to make the connection to
The Following Story with the blanket theme of Docle Domum over the whole paper. I know some of you have read and studied this piece of literature in a class or two, and have way more incite into this dense work than my little legs do.
In class I completely wasn't listening when I talked about my paper topic. Someone (and I am so sorry for my rudeness in not remembering who this was) but you made some awesome statement about the book and I really would like to hear that quote again.
PLEASE Anyone I am on my in dyer need of your assistance!!

ha, I was just quoting from pythagoras which is in book 15 somewhere, and its, "For all things change but no thing dies..." pretty cool eternal return stuff. i dont really remember that much other than that but i'd be happy to talk about what ever shit might help
ReplyDeleteOver the boundless ocean, and I tell you
ReplyDeleteNothing is permanent in all the world.
All things are fluid; every image forms,
Wandering through change. Time is itself a river
In constant movement, and the hours flow by
Like water, wave on wave, pursued, pursuing,
Forever fugitive, forever new.
That which has been, is not; that which was not,
Begins to be; motion and moment always
In process of renewal.
this i think is from pythagoras also, but i sniped this from a animal rights site off google so it might not be the right quotation
