Wisdom Cometh By Suffering.

Many Men Who Transgress Justice, Honor Appearance Over Reality.

The Great And Amorous Sky Curved Over The Earth, And Lay Upon Her As A Pure Lover. The Rain, The Humid Flux Descending From Heaven For Both Man And Animal, For Both Thick And Strong, Germinated The Wheat, Swelled The Furrows With Fecund Mud And Brought Forth The Buds In The Orchards. And It Is I Who Empowered These Moist Espousals, I The Great Aphrodite.

But From The Good Health Of The Mind Comes That Which Is Dear To All And The Object Of Prayer-happiness.

Of All The Gods Only Death Does Not Desire Gifts.

Time, Waxing Old, Doth All Things Purify.
