Heraclitus by William Cory - They Told Me Heraclitus

William Cory, a teacher at Eton College, wrote this poetic translation of Callimachus‘s elegy to his friend Heraclitus. Heraclitus They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead, They brought me bitter news to hear and bitter tears to shed. I wept as I remembered how often you and I Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky. And now that thou art lying, My dear old Carian guest, A handful of grey ashes, long, long ago at rest, Still are thy pleasant voices, thy nightingales, awake; For death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take. William Cory
