TRANSLATION OF A FRAGMENT OF HERACLITUS[1007:1]
Not hers
To win the sense by words of rhetoric,
Lip-blossoms breathing perishable sweets;
But by the power of the informing Word
Roll sounding onward through a thousand years
Her deep prophetic bodements.
1816. First published in Lit. Rem., iii. 418, 419. First collected P. and D. W., 1877, ii. 367.
