Herakleitos Fragment 43 (The stuff of the psyche is a smoke-like substance)









The stuff of the psyche is a smoke-like substance of finest particles that gives rise to all other things; its particles are of less mass than any other substance and it is constantly in motion; only movement can know movement.




Trans. Guy Davenport, Herakleitos and Diogenes. San Francisco, Grey Fox Press, 1976.
