Let him who wishes, then, approaching to the true instruction, learn from Parmenides the Eleatic, who promises:--

"Ethereal nature, then, and all the signs

In Ether thou shall know, and the effects,

All viewless, of the sacred Sun's clear torch

And whence produced. The round-eyed Moon's

Revolving influences and nature thou

Shall learn; and the ensphering heaven shall know;

Whence sprung; and how Necessity took it

And chained so as to keep the starry bounds."
