'Avia Pieridum peragro loca.' | 48,323 |

'His ibi me rebus quaedam divina voluptas | 48,323 |
Percipit adque horror.' | 48,323 |
professes to fulfil the three distinct offices of a philosophical | 48,323 |
Primum quod magnis doceo de rebus et artis | 48,323 |
Religionum animum nodis exsolvere pergo, | 48,323 |
Deinde quod obscura de re tam lucida pango | 48,323 |
Carmina, musaeo contingens cuncta lepore. | 48,323 |
which the permanent value of the poem depends. Thus, although the | 48,323 |
society,--would naturally have been treated immediately after the | 48,323 |
Hunc igitur terrorem animi tenebrasque necessest | 48,323 |
Non radii solis neque lucida tela diei | 48,323 |
Discutiant, sed naturae species ratioque. | 48,323 |
Horribili super aspectu mortalibus instans,-- | 48,323 |
the cause of ignorance, degradation, and misery,--are vividly | 48,323 |
personified and presented in close contrast with one another. The | 48,323 |
which alone remained permanent amid the changing aspects of the | 48,323 |
Nullam rem e nilo gigni divinitus unquam. | 48,323 |
The apprehension of this principle--a principle common to all the | 48,323 |
Materies quia rebus reddita certast | 48,323 |
Gignundis e qua constat quid possit oriri. | 48,323 |
The original substances out of which all things are produced, and | 48,323 |
Corporibus caecis igitur natura gerit res. | 48,323 |
Ergo praeter inane et corpora tertia per se | 48,323 |
Nulla potest rerum in numero natura relinqui. | 48,323 |
All material bodies are either elemental substances or compounded | 48,323 |
Sunt igitur solida primordia simplicitate | 48,323 |
Quae minimis stipata cohaerent partibus arte. | 48,323 |
Non ex illarum conventu conciliata, | 48,323 |
Sed magis aeterna pollentia simplicitate, | 48,323 |
Unde neque avelli quicquam neque deminui jam | 48,323 |
Concedit natura reservans semina rebus. | 48,323 |
elements that volition in living beings becomes possible. | 48,323 |
Unde ubi qua vi et quo pacto congressa coibunt | 48,323 |
Materiae tanto in pelago turbaque aliena? | 48,323 |
Sic aequo geritur certamine principiorum | 48,323 |
Ex infinito contractum tempore bellum. | 48,323 |
Further, the great diversity in Nature is to be accounted for by | 48,323 |
Immortalia si volumus subiungere rebus | 48,323 |
Fundamenta quibus nitatur summa salutis; | 48,323 |
Ne tibi res redeant ad nilum funditus omnes. | 48,323 |
Further, although they are the origin of all living and sentient | 48,323 |
of matter. These atoms, by virtue of their ultimate conditions, | 48,323 |
are capable only of certain combinations with one another. These | 48,323 |
combinations have been brought about by perpetual motion, through | 48,323 |
The third book treats of the nature of the mind, and of the vital | 48,323 |
Quod simul atque hominem leti secura quies est | 48,323 |
Indepta atque animi natura animaeque recessit, | 48,323 |
Nil ibi libatum de toto corpore cernas | 48,323 |
Ad speciem, nil ad pondus: mors omnia praestat | 48,323 |
Vitalem praeter sensum calidumque vaporem. | 48,323 |
Non modo enim ratio ruat omnis, vita quoque ipsa | 48,323 |
Concidat extemplo, nisi credere sensibus ausis. | 48,323 |
Morte obita quorum tellus amplectitur ossa,-- | 48,323 |
Nil ideo quoniam natumst in corpore ut uti | 48,323 |
Possemus, sed quod natumst id procreat usum. | 48,323 |
satirical power. | 48,323 |
The object of the fifth book is to explain the formation of our | 48,323 |
As the parts of our system,--earth, water, air, and heat,--are | 48,323 |
perishable, and constantly passing through processes of decay and | 48,323 |
First plants and trees, afterwards men and animals, were produced | 48,323 |
Et Venus inminuit viris puerique parentum | 48,323 |
Blanditiis facile ingenium fregere superbum. | 48,323 |
The last source of superstition is our ignorance of the causes of | 48,323 |
Praesertim rebus in illis | 48,323 |
Quae supera caput aetheriis cernuntur in oris. | 48,323 |
The practical purpose of the poem--the overthrow of | 48,323 |
Tu mihi supremae praescribta ad candida calcis, etc. | 48,323 |
Usque adeo largos haustus e fontibu' magnis | 48,323 |
Lingua meo suavis diti de pectore fundet;-- | 48,323 |
It was also part of the author's design to enunciate his deepest | 48,323 |
thoughts on the Gods, on Nature, and on human life in more highly | 48,323 |
underlies the special subject of the poem. Some of these passages | 48,323 |
The poem, though incomplete in regard to the arrangement of its | 48,323 |
illustrious modern critic has said, that 'the greatest didactic | 48,323 |
poem in any language was written in defence of the silliest and | 48,323 |
advent of physical science. But, as a means of throwing light on | 48,323 |
Invenies primis ab sensibus esse creatam | 48,323 |
Notitiam veri neque sensus posse refelli. | 48,323 |
But besides the direct action of outward things on the senses, he | 48,323 |
apprehension or intuition of the mind (iniectus animi) into | 48,323 |
things beyond the cognisance of sense. Thus there is no | 48,323 |
actual inconsistency with his principles in claiming the power of | 48,323 |
Omnis enim longe nostris ab sensibus infra | 48,323 |
Primorum natura iacet. | 48,323 |
Nam cur tam variae res possint esse requiro, | 48,323 |
Ex uno si sunt igni puroque creatae. | 48,323 |
At primordia gignundis in rebus oportet | 48,323 |
Naturam clandestinam caecamque adhibere. | 48,323 |
In his statement of the doctrine of the _Clinamen_, or slight | 48,323 |
or matters.' But, in common with the earlier enquirers of Greece, | 48,323 |
Undique quandoquidem per caulas aetheris omnis | 48,323 |
Et quasi per magni circum spiracula mundi | 48,323 |
Exitus introitusque elementis redditus extat. | 48,323 |
Of the growth of plants and herbage it is said-- | 48,323 |
Ut pluma atque pili primum saetaeque creantur | 48,323 |
Quadripedum membris et corpore pennipotentum, | 48,323 |
Sic nova tum tellus herbas virgultaque primum | 48,323 |
Sustulit, inde loci mortalia saecla creavit. | 48,323 |
