Dark Heraclitus



1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,477
Dark Heraclitus

2
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,437
Infinity as a spirit
of nations and the world

3
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,273
may be understood only
from a clumsy point of view.

4
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,315
We must expose the myths
themselves more conclusively.

5
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,474
The origin of the most beautiful
world is a random pile of garbage.

6
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,274
This world, constructed in a uniform
manner, for each and every one of us,

7
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,477
was created by neither god nor man,

8
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,355
but has always existed,
exists and will exist forever,

9
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,268
an eternally burning flame
burning with moderation

10
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,430
and extinguishing itself
with moderation.

11
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,274
Heraclitus came down
from the mountain.

12
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,439
Thanks to the poignant phrases
which the Sibyll's inspired mouth

13
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,431
send out to us
across the millenia,

14
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,433
Heraclitus of Ephesia
speaks to us in tears.

15
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,436
Reading him brings me to tears.

16
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,396
He who possessed the
absolute power of speech,

17
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,473
he who, though of the same origin as
the gods, separated himself from them

18
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,359
Dark Heraclitus marched
towards happy Greece,

19
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,310
his beard full of wisps of straw
and of insects.

20
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,513
And, with the clarity of thought
of early morning,

21
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,315
oh, the soul, the soul,
the beauty of the world,

22
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,473
you are the indestructible one,
eternally young,

23
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,435
you exist.

24
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,312
What thus is death
and all human ills?

25
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,279
How many shallow words are
responsible for these eccentric ideas?

26
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,399
At the end of the day,
everything is created by desire

27
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,274
and all things end in peace.
