Do not be in a hurry to unwind to the center stick the roll of
Heraclitus the Ephesian; the path is hard indeed to traverse. There is

Those who speak with sense
must rely on what is common to all, as a city must rely on its law...
(nb. common remains unknown to most)
The divine law has as much power as it wishes &
is sufficient for all & is still left over.
