Someone told me of your death, Heraclitus, and it moved me to tears, when I remembered how often the sun set on our talking. And you, my Halicarnassian friend, lie somewhere, gone long long ago to dust; but they live, your Nightingales, on which Hades who siezes all shall not lay his hand.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead;
\nThey brought me bitter news to hear and bitter tears to shed;
\nI wept, as I remembered, how often you and I
\nHad tired the sun with talking, and sent him down the sky.<\/p>\n

And now that thou art lying, my dear old Carian guest,
\nA handful of grey ashes, long, long ago at rest,
\nStill are thy pleasant voices, thy nightingales, awake;
\nFor Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
