Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Neoplatonisme (English)
'Complete silence is our only possible option if we follow these ideas to their conclusion: a recognition that we have no knowledge of those mysteries that are hidden from us, and that we know nothing of them because it is impossible for us to comprehend them.'
Damascius
My Prince, you've read Damascius, Proclus and Plotinus
so deeply that your head's spinning and you've lost contact with the world!
You who have a childish love of the songs of real birds
and of kisses stolen in the shade of the jasmine!
translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
