"While the physics of the Ionians, the astronomy of Aristotle, the political, economic, theistic systems have collapsed—as those of today will collapse in a dismal tomorrow—the records of Homer, of Sophocles, of Aeschylus, all the assertions poets satisfy something alive in us, a restlessness of the heart by which we recognize life.

While the physics of the Ionians, the astronomy of Aristotle, the political, economic, theistic systems have collapsed—as those of today will collapse in a dismal tomorrow—the records of Homer, of Sophocles, of Aeschylus, all the assertions poets satisfy something alive in us, a restlessness of the heart by which we recognize life.
""În timp ce fizica ionienilor, astronomia lui Aristotel, sistemele politice, economice, teiste s-au prăbușit - cum și cele de azi se vor prăbuși într-un sumbru mâine -, evidențele lui Homer, ale lui Sofocle, ale lui Eschil, toate afirmațiile poeților satisfac ceva viu din noi, o neliniște a inimii după care recunoaștem viața."
