Ovid Quotes

Although The Gods Were In The Distant Skies,
Pythagoras Drew Near Them With His Mind;
what Nature Had Denied To Human Sight,
he Saw With His Intellect, His Mental Eye.
When He, With Reason And Tenacious Care,
had Probed All Things, He Taught-- To Those Who Gathered
in Silence And Amazement-- What He'd Learned
of The Beginnings Of The Universe,
of What Caused Things To Happen, And What Is
their Nature: What God Is, Whence Come The Snows,
what Is The Origin Of Lightning Bolts--
whether It Is The Thundering Winds Or Jove
that Cleave The Cloudbanks-- And What Is The Cause
of Earthquakes, And What Laws Control The Course
of Stars: In Sum, Whatever Had Been Hid,
Pythagoras Revealed.
