Fragments

Einstein may have discovered that energy is the essence of matter, but it was Heraclitus of Ephesus who first declared this 2500 years before Einstein. His great book, On Nature, has long been lost to history--but its surviving fragments have for thousands of years tantalized our greatest thinkers, from Montaigne to Nietzsche, Heidegger to Jung. Now acclaimed poet Brooks Haxton presents a powerful free-verse translation of all 130 surviving fragments of the teachings of Heraclitus, with the ancient Greek originals beautifully reproduced en face.
