Empedocles
Love and Strife Run the Universe (Then He Jumped Into a Volcano)
I saw the world in fire, and fire saw me.
The elements spoke to me, and I listened. In earth, air, fire, and water, I saw the pulse of all things. I taught that love binds and strife divides — and in the end, I walked into the mouth of Aetna, to prove that fire, too, is a truth-bearer.
What I'm Into: the roar of Aetna, my verses of purification, the dance of the elements, the weight of prophecy, the silence before the leap
