赫拉克利特残篇(
)
Malcolm Crowe
Feedback welcomed Kahn suggests that the surviving fragments may well represent most of the
original. This observation has inspired the tentative reconstruction
offered here.
All authentic quotations from Heraclitus (fl. 500 BC) are included in the
following text; material shown in square brackets on the English side has
been added by the editor; and some small fragments and guesses in
Marcovich's edition have been added in brackets to the Greek. Marcovich
has pointed out by implication that Heraclitus wrote in free verse rather
than straight prose.
Heraclitus' words are of legendary opacity, and all of the fragments can
be translated in many ways: the translation given here is partly new. The
numbers are references to the fragments in Kahn's translation. The
ordering of the fragments, apart from the opening paragraph, is of course
conjectural: the relationship of the ordering given here with other
translations is shown in the appendix.
Although this account holds forever ,;, ,’,;,,;,
men fail to comprehend it, both before
,,,, ,,,,,,;, ,,,;,,,, ,,,,,,;, they hear it and when they first hear.
Even though all happenings are in ,,, ,,;,,,, , ,,;,,,, accordance with this account, people
behave like the unlearned when they ,,, ,,;,,,,,,, ,; ,,,,;, experience works and words; whereas I
set them forth, distinguishing ,,,;,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,, ,,,, ,;, ,;,;, ,;,,, everything according to its nature
and telling how it is. But then most ,,,,,;,,,, ,;,,,,, ,,,,,,,;, people are as unconscious of what they
do awake as they are forgetful of what ,,, ,,,,, ,,, ,,,,, ,;,;,,,,, they do asleep:
;,;,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,,
,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,;,
,,, ,,,,,, ;,,, ,,,,
,;,, ,, ,,,;,, ,,,,,,;,,
,,,,,,,, ;,;,, ,,,,,,,,,, ,;,;,,,,
, ;,,,,,, ;,;,, ,,,;,,,, ,,,,,,,,,;,,,,
Failing to comprehend after hearing, ,,,,,,;, ,,;,,,,,,,
they learn like the deaf: the saying ,,,;,,,, ,;,,,,, is their witness, absent while
present. ,,,,, ,,,;,,, ,,,,,,,,
, ,,,,;,,,, ,,,,,,,
Although this account is shared, the ,;, ,, ,;,;, ,’,;,,;, ,,,;,
many live as though thinking things ,,;,,,, ;, ,;,,;, out were a private matter.
,,, ,,,,, ,,;,,,, ,,;,,,,,
[Contrary to Archilochus], the many ;, ,,;,,;,, ,;,,,,, ,;,,;,
do not think about things they way ;,;,;,, ,,,,,,;,,,, they find them, and do not gain
understanding from their own ;,,, ,,,;,,,, ,,,,,,;,,,, experiences, but simply believe their
own opinions. ,,,,,;,,, ,, ,;,,;,,,
Gaining learning from what we see and ;,;,,, ;,,, ,,;, ,,,,,,,
hear: this I do prefer. ,,,,,,, ,,, ,,;,,,,,
But eyes and ears are bad witnesses ,,,;, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,;,,,,
for men with barbaric minds:
;,,,,,;, ,,, ,,,
,,,,,,,,;,, ,,,,, ,,;,,,,
,, not knowing how to listen, neither can ,,;,,,, ;,, ,,,,,,,,,;, ;,,’ ,,,,,,
they speak. They are at odds with what ,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, ;,,,;,,, they have most continuous
involvement: ,,;,,,, ,,,,,,;,,,,
as they step into the same rivers, ,;,,,;,,, ,;,,,,
other and still other waters flow over
,,,;,,,, ,,,,,,;,,,, them.
,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,
,, ,,,,, ,,,,,,,
They fail to recognise how things can ;, ,,,,,,,, ;,,, ,,,,,,;,,,;, ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,
diverge while being brought together; ,,,,,,,,,;,;, ,,,;,,, ;,,,,,, ,;,;, ,,, ,,,,, it is a harmony that changes back,
like that of the bow and the lyre.
The sea is the purest and the foulest ,,,,,,, ,,,, ,,,,,,,,,;, ,,, ,,,,,,,,;,
water: for fish drinkable and
,,,,,, ,,, ,;,,,;, ,,, ,,,,,,;, life-sustaining; for men undrinkable
and deadly. ,,,,,,,,;,, ,, ,,;,;, ,,, ;,,,,,;,
The path of the carding wheel is ,,,,,,,, ;,;, ,,,,,, ,,, ,,;,,,
straight and crooked. ,,,,, ,,,, ,,, , ,,,,
,,,The way uphill and downhill is the ;,;, ,,, ,,,, ,,, ,,, ,,,,
same.
Harmonies that are hidden are more ,,,;,,, ,,,,,,
powerful than those that are obvious. ,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,
Much learning does not teach common ,;;, ;, ,,,,,,,,
sense, for they would have taught
,,,;,;, ,,, ,, ,,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,;,,, Hesiod and Pythagoras, and also
Xenophanes and Hecataeus. ,,,,,,, ,, ,,,;,,,,, ,, ,,, ,,,,,,;,
Bias son of Teutames who lived in ,, ,,,,,,, ,,,, ,,,,,,; ; ,,,,,,,,
Priene. He is of more account than the ,,;, ,,,,, ,;,;, , ,,, ,,,,, rest:
The many are worthless, good men are ;, ,;,,;, ,,,;,
few. ,?;,,,;, ,, ,,,,;,
One is ten thousand if he is the best. ,,, ,,;, ,,,,;,
,, ,,, ,,,,,;, ,,
The esteemed man merely estimates; ,;,,;,,, ; ,;,,,,,,,;,
but maintains he understands. ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,
Only dogs bark at what they do not ,,,,, ,,, ,,,,;,,,,
understand: ,,;, ,, ,, ,,,,,,,,,
A fool loves to get excited at any new ,,,, ,,,,,,;, ,,, ,,,,, ,;,,
teaching. ,,,,,;,,,,, ,,,,,
What wit or thinking do they have? ,,, ,,,,, ,;;, , ,,,,
They believe the popular poets and ,,,,, ,;,,;,,, ,,,,;,,,, take the mob for their teacher, not
knowing that "The many are ,,, ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,, ;,,,,, worthless".
,?;,, ,,,;,,, ;,, ;, ,;,,;, ,,,;,
The best choose one thing in exchange ,,,,,,,,, ,, ,,,, ,,,,,,, ;, ,,,,,;,
for all, everflowing fame among ,,,;, ,,,,;, ,,,,,, mortals; but most men have sated
themselves like cattle. ?,;, ,, ,;,,;, ,,,;,,,,,, ;,,,,,, ,,,,,,
The Ephesians deserve to be hanged to ,,,;, ,,,,,;,, ,,,,;, ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,
the last man, every one of them, and ,,, ,;,, ,,,,;,, ,,, ,;,,, ,,,,,,,,,, leave the city to the boys, since they
drove out their most successful man, ;,,,,,, ,,,;,,,;, ,,,,, ,,,,,, ;,,,,,;, Hermodorus, saying "Let no one be the
most successful among us; if he is, ,,,,,,;, ,,,,,, let him be so elsewhere and among [If they hold to the others",,,,, ,,,, ,,, ;,,,,,;, ,,,, principle, they will empty the city.]
,, ,, ,,
,,,,,, ,, ,,, ,,,’ ,,,,,
May wealth never fail you, men of ,,, ,,,,,,;, ,,,,,;,, ,,;,,;,
Ephesus, so that your wickedness be ,,’ ,,,,,,,;,,,; ,;,,,;, ,;,,,,, proved!
Men deceive themselves in their ,,,,,,,,,,, ;, ,,,,,,;, ,,;, ,,, ,,,,,,
knowledge of the obvious, even Homer ,,, ,,,,,,, the [blind] astronomer, considered
wisest of all Greeks. For he [died of ,,, ,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,;,;,;, grief over a riddle when he] was
fooled by boys killing lice who said: ;, ,,,,,,; ,,, ,,,,,,, ,;,,,,,;, ,,,,,, what we see and catch we leave behind;
and what we neither see nor catch we ,,,,,;, ,, ,,, ,,,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,;,,,, carry away. ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,;,,,,
;,, ,,,;,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,;,,, ,,,,, ,,;,,,,;,,,
,,;,, ,, ;,,, ,,,;,,, ;,, ,,,,;,,, ,,,,, ,,,;,,,
He deserves to be expelled from the ,,,;, ,, ,,, ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,,,
contest and beaten with the same staff ,,,,, ,,,,,;,;, ;,;,,, as Archilochus.
For most people, Hesiod is the ,,,,,,,;, ,, ,,,,,,,,
teacher: they know him as knowing ,;,,;, ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,, most, though he did not understand day [as days and night: they are one:;,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,;,,, ;,, ,,,,,,,,, lengthen, the nights shorten in equal
measure]. ,?,,,, ,,, ,,
Pythagoras son of Mnesarchus pursued
inquiry further than all other men, ,,,;,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,, but choosing only what he liked from
these compositions, made a wisdom of ,,, ,,,,,,,,,;, ,,,,,, ,,, ;,,,,,,,, his own: much learning, artful
knavery. ,,;,,,,,; ,,,,;, ,;,,,,
,;,,,,,,,,
,,,,,;,,,,,,,
,,That prince of impostors! ,;,,,,, ,,,,,;,
The Sybil with raving mouth utters
things mirthless. ,,,,,,;,,,,, ,,;,,,, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,;,,,,
The lord [Apollo] whose oracle is in ; ,,,, ;, ,; ,,,,,,;, ,,,, ,; ,, ,,,,;,,
Delphi neither declares nor conceals, ,, ;,,, ,,,,, ;,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,, ;,,,,,,,but gives a sign.
Of all those whose accounts I have ;,;,,, ,;,;,, ,,;,,,
heard, none has gone so far as this,
;,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, ,, ,;,,; ,,,, ,,,,,,,,, to understand what is wise, set apart
from all things. ,,;,, ,;,;, ,,,, ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,;,
It belongs to all men to know ,,,,,,;,,, ,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,
themselves and to think things out; ,?,,,,;,, ,,, ,,,,;,,,,
careful inquirers into a great many ,,, ,, ,,,,
things: ?,;,,,, ,,,;,,,
,, I went on my own search. ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,;,
Thinking things out is the greatest ,,,,, ,,,,,,, ,,, ,;,,,
excellence and wisdom: to act and ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,, ,,, ,;,,, ,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,;,,,, speak what is true, perceiving things
according to their nature.
seekers of gold must dig up much earth ,,,,;, ;, ,,,,,,,;,
and find little.
,,, ,;,,,, ;,,,,;,,,
,,,, ,,,,,,;,,,,, ;,,,;,
,,for things love to hide their nature ,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,
He who does not search the ,,, ,, ,,,,,,,
unsearchable will not find ways in
,,,,,,,,;, ;,, ,,,,,,,,, what is trackless and unsolved.
,,,,,,,,,,,,;, ,;, ,,, ,,;,;,
,,What cannot be known escapes ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,, ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,
understanding:
,,,What we do not know, we should conceal ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,;,
our ignorance;
,, Thinking things out is shared by all. ,,,;, ,,,, ,,,, ,; ,,;,,,,,
Speaking with understanding they must ,,, ,;, ,,,;,,,,
hold fast to what is shared by all, as ,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,, ,, ,,,, ,,,,,, a city holds to its law, and even more
firmly. For all human laws are ;,,,,,, ,;,,, ,;,,, ,,, ,;,, ,,,,,;,,,,, nourished by one law, a divine one. It
prevails as it will and suffices for ,,,,;,,,, ,,, ,,,,,, ;, ,,,,,,,,;, ,;,;, all and is more than enough.
,,; ,,;, ,;, ,,,;,
,,,,,, ,,, ,;,;,,;, ;,;,;, ,,,,,,
,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,
,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,
The people must fight for the law as ,,,,,,,, ,,, ,;, ,,,;, ,,,, ,, ,;, ,;,;,
for their city wall ,,;,;,,,, ,,,,,;,
,,,Crime must be extinguished faster ,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,, ,,,,;, , ,,,,,,,,
than a blazing fire.
,,,Man's nature, his spirit, has no set ,,, ,,,,,,,;,, ,,,,,,,,
purpose, but the divine has. ,, ;,, ,,,, ,,,,,, ,,,;, ,, ,,,,
The sun will not transgress his ;,, ,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,
measures. (If he does, the Furies, ,, ,, ,, ,,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,, ,,,,;,,, ministers of Justice, will find him
out.) ,,,,,,,,,;,,,,
42a,,,, ,, ,,,,, ,,,;,,, Seasons which bring all to birth,
?,thirty years for a generation, [and ,,, ,,,,;,,, ,;,;,,, ,,, ,,,,,,
10800 for the great year.]
The limits of Dawn and Evening is the ,;,, ,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,, , ,,,,;,
Bear; and opposite the Bear, the ,,,,, ,,,,;, ,,, ,,,,;, ;,,;, ,,,,,;, ,,;, Warder of bright Zeus [is the star
Arcturus].
If there were no sun, for all the ,, ,, ,,,;, ,,
stars, it would still be night.
,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,,,
,, ,,,,;,, ,, ,,
48a; ,,,;, ,,;, ,,’ ,,,,,, ,,,,, The sun is new every morning,
[But] how will one hide from that ,; ,, ,,,;, ,;,,
which never sets? ,,, ,,, ,, ,,, ,,,;,,
The wise is one, knowing the plan by ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,
which all things are steered through ,,;,,, ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,, all.
,,It is law also to obey the counsel of ,;,;, ,,, ,;,,, ,,,,,,,,, ,,;,
one.
For god all things are fair and just, ,,, ,,, ,,, ,,,, ,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,,
but men have taken some things as ,,,,,,;, ,, , ,,, ,,,,, unjust, others as just.
,,,,,,,,,,,,, , ,, ,,,,,,
,?If it were not for these things, they ,,,,, ;,;,, ;,, ,, ,,,,,,, ,, ,,,,, ,, ,,
would not have known the name of
Justice.
,, Justice will catch up with those who ,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,, ,,,,;,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,
invent lies and those who swear to
them.
War is father and king of all; and some
he has shown as gods, others men; some ,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,, ,,,, he has made slaves, others free.
,,,,,, ,, ,,,,,,,,
,,, ,;,, ,,, ,,;,, ,,,,,,,
,;,, ,, ,,,,,,;,,
,;,, ,,, ,;,,;,, ,,;,,,,
,,,;,, ,’ ,,,,,,,;,,
One must realise that war is shared ,,,,,,, ,,, ,;, ,;,,,;,
and conflict is justice, and that all ,;,,, ,,,;, ,,, ,,,,, ,,,, things come to pass in accordance with
conflict. ,, ,,, ,,,;,,,, ,,,,, ,,,’ ,,,, ,,, ,,,,,
The mysteries current among men ,,,’ ,,,,,,;,, ,,,,,,,,,
initiate them into impiety. ,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,;,,,,,
They are purified in vain with blood, ,,,,;,,,, ,’ ,,,,, ,,,,,,
those polluted with blood, as if ,,,,,;,,,;, someone who stepped in mud should try
to wash himself with mud. Anyone who ;,;,;, ,, ,,, ,,,;, ,,,,, notices him doing this would think he
was mad. And they pray to images as if ,,,, ,,;,,,;,,; they were chatting with houses, not
understanding what gods or even ,,,,,,,,, ,’ ,, ,;,;,, heroes are like.
,, ,,, ,,,;, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,; ;,,, ,;,,;,,, ,,, ,;,, ,,,,,,,, ,, ,;,,,;,,,, ,,,;,,,,

If it were not Dionysus for whom they ,, ,, ,,;,,,,, ,;,,,, ,,;,;,,,;
march in procession and chant the hymn ,,, ,,,,;, ,,,,, ,,,;,;,,,, to the genitals, their action would be
most shameless, But Hades and ,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,’ ,, Dionysus are the same, him for whom
they rave and celebrate the festival ,,,;, ,, ,,,,, ,,, ,,;,,,;, of Lenaia.
,,,;,,, ,,,,;,,,, ,,, ,,,,,,;,,,,
The wise is one alone, unwilling and ,;,,;,
willing to be spoken of by the name of ,,,,,,,,,,, ;,, ,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,, ,,,;, ;,;,, Zeus.
The god: day and night, winter and
summer, war and peace, satiety and ,,,,, ,,,,;,, hunger. It alters, as when mingled
with perfumes, and gets named by each
according to his wish. ,,,,,, ,,,;,

,,, ;,;,,,,,,, ,,,’ ,,;,,, ,,,,,;,
has been made by no The cosmic order ,;,,,
god or man, but has always been and ;,,, ,,, ,,,, ;,,, ,,,,,,,, ,,;,,,,, always will be: fire everliving, for
ever breaking out here and dying out ,,,’ ,, ,,, ,,, ,,,,, ,,, ,,,,, there.
,,,,,;,,,;, ,,,,, ,,, ,,;,,,,,,,,,;, ,,,,,
A breaking fire will pick out and ,,,,, ,; ,,, ,,,,,;,
catch up with all things, ,,,,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,hunger and satiety, ,,,,;,,,,,,,, ,,, ,;,;,
,,it rests by changing. ,,,,,,,,;, ,,,,,,,,,,
All things are a payment for fire, and ,,,;, ,,,,,;,,, ,, ,,,,,
fire for all things, as goods for gold ,,, ,,, ,,,,,,, and gold for goods.
;,;,,,, ,,,,;, ,,,,,,,
,,,,, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,;,
Listening not to me but to the ;,, ,,;, ,,,, ,;, ,;,;, ,,;,,,,,,,
argument, it is wise to agree rather ,,;,;,;,,,, ,;,;, ,,,,, ,, ,,,,, ,,,,, that all things are one.
The changes of fire: first sea; but of ,,,,;, ,,,,,,,
sea half is earth, half lightning ,,,,,,,, ,, ,; ,,, ,,,;, ,, storm.
,, ,; ,, ,,,,, ,,,,,,,
The sea dissolves, and measures up to ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,
the same amount as was there before it
,,, ,,,,,,,,, ,,, ,;, ,,,;, ,;,;, became earth.
,?;,;,;, ,,;,,,, ,, , ,,,,,,,, ,,
The death of fire is birth for air, and ,,,,;, ,,,,,;, ,,,, ,,,,,,,
the death of air is birth for water. ,,,,, ,,,;, ,,,,,;, ,,,,, ,,,,,,,,
Cold warms up, warmth cools down, ,,,,;, ,,,,,,,
wetness dries up, dryness becomes
,,,,;, ,,,,,,, damp.

A man is considered foolish by a god, ,,,, ,,,,;, ,,;,,, ,,;, ,,,,;,;,
as a child by a man. ,,;,;,,,, ,,,, ,,;, ,,,,;,
,,All beasts are driven to pasture by ,,, ,,,,,;, ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,
blows:

,,,Swine delight in mire more than clean ,,, ,;,,;,, ,,;,,,, ,,,,;, , ,,,,,,, ,,,,,
water,

Cattle delight in bitter vetch rather ,,;,, ;,,;,, ,,;,,,, ,,,,;, , ,,,,,,,
than honey,
The fairest order in the world is a ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,,,;,
heap of random sweepings. ,,,; ,,,,,,,;, ,;,,;,
Doctors cut and burn, complain that ,,,,;,,,, ,,,;,,,,
they receive no worthy fee for the
,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,;, ,,,,;, ,,,,,,,,, same effects as the diseases!
,, ,,,,, ,,,,,;,,,;, ,,, ,, ,;,;,
It is disease that makes health sweet ,;,,;, ,,,,,,,
and good, hunger satiety, weariness ,,;,,,,, ,,, ,,, ,,,,;, rest.

You will not find the limits of the ,,,,,,, ,,, ;,, ,, ,,,,,;,;
mind by going, even if you travel over
,,,,, ,,,,;,,,;,,,;, ;,;, every road, so deep is its argument.
,,;,,, ,,,,, ,;,;, ,,,,
,,?A dry mind, the wisest and best. ,,, ,,,, ,;,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,,,
When drunk, a grown man is led by a ,,,, ;,;,,, ,,,,,,,,
beardless boy, stumbling, not knowing
,,,,,, ,,; ,,,,;, ,,,,;, ,,,,,;,,,;, where he is going, his mind is wet. ;,, ,,,,,, ;,, ,,,,,,
,,,,,,,, ,,, ,,,,, ,,,,
For the mind it is death to become ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,;, ,,,, ,,,,,,,,
water, for water it is death to become
,,,,, ,, ,,,,,;, ,,, ,,,,,,,, earth; out of earth water springs, out
of water the mind. ,, ,,, ,, ,,,, ,,,,,,,
,,,,, ,,,,;, ,, ,,,,
It is hard to fight against the ,,,,, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,;,
heart’s desire; for whatever it ,,,; ,,, ,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,,, wants it gets and the mind loses.
67a,,,,,,;,, ,,,,,,,, ;,;,, ,,,;,,,, ;,, ,,,,,;, [It is said: the sweetest thing is to
get your desire, but] it is not better
for human beings to get all they want.
A man strikes a light for himself in ,, ,,,,;,,, ,,;, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,
the night, when his sight is put out.
,,;,,,,,,,, ;,,,, Living, he touches the dead in his
sleep; waking, he touches the
sleeper. ,,, ,, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,;, ,,,,,
?, ,,,,,;,,, ,,,,,,, ,,,;,,;,
Death is all things we see awake; all we see asleep is sleep.,,,,, ;,;,, ,,,,,,,,,, ;,,;,,,

The same: living and dead, waking and ,’ ,,,
sleeping, young and old. For these ,,, ,,, ,,,,,,;, transposed are those, and those

What awaits men at death they do not ,,,,,,;,, ,,,,, ,,;,,,;,,,,

Immortals are mortal, mortals ,,,,,,;, ,,,,;,
immortal, living the others’ death,

should be thrown out quicker than ,,,,,, ,;, ,,,,,,, ,,,,,;, dung.
