"The Logos is eternal
but men have not heard it
and men have heard it and not understood.
"Through
the Logos all things are understood
yet men do not understand
. . .
"One
must talk about everything according to its nature,
how it comes to be and how it grows.
Men have talked about the world without paying attention
to the world or to their own minds,
as if they were asleep or absent-minded."

manure."
