Synopsis
Excerpt from Lucretius on the Nature of Things
Mother of the Aeneadae, darling of men and gods, increase-giving Venus, who beneath the gliding signs of heaven fillest with thy presence the ship-carrying sea, the corn - bearing lands, since through thee every kind of living things is conceived, rises up and beholds the light of the sun. Before thee, goddess, flee the winds, the clouds of heaven; before thee and thy advent for thee earth manifold in works puts forth sweet smelling flowers for thee the levels of the sea do laugh and heaven pro pitiated shines with outspread light. For soon as the vernal aspect of day is disclosed, and the birth-favouring breath of favonius unbarred is4 blowing fresh, first the fowls of the air, 0 lady, shew signs of thee and thy entering in, throughly smitten in heart by thy power. Next the wild herds bound over the glad pastures and swim the rapid rivers such wise each made prisoner by thy charm follows thee with desire,te sequitur cupide quo quamque inducere pergis. Denique per maria ac montis fluviosque rapacis frondiferasque domos avium camposque virentis omnibus incutiens blandum per pectora amorem efficis ut cupide generatim saecla propagent.

Lucretius on the Nature of Things, Vol. 1: With Translation and Notes
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a philosophical overview of the natural world as understood in ancient times. The author, a Roman philosopher writing in the 1st century BCE, puts forward the theory that all matter is made up of indestructible atoms which he terms 'seeds'. He argues that these atoms are the building blocks of all substances and that by combining in different ways they can create the vast array of objects and phenomena that we see around us. The book provides a fascinating insight into the scientific thought of the ancient world and offers a valuable historical perspective on the development of modern science. The author's ideas about atoms would later be taken up and expanded upon by other philosophers and scientists, and they ultimately laid the foundation for our current understanding of the physical world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330722022_0
