  1     I|     Unbusied ears and singleness of mind~ Withdrawn from cares; lest
  2     I|         Then be it ours with steady mind to clasp~ The purport of
  3     I|        reasonable eyes~ Of what the mind, of what the soul is made,~
  4     I|          then, this darkness of the mind,~ Not sunrise with its flaring
  5     I|             prove~ By reasonings of mind. Again, without~ That place
  6     I|           man through reasonings of mind.~ Name o'er creation with
  7     I|          Protests, denying that the mind can think it,~ Convinced
  8     I|           hear!~ And for myself, my mind is not deceived~ How dark
  9     I|             to loose from round the mind~ The tightened coils of
 10     I|             haply I might hold~ The mind of thee upon these lines
 11     I|       themselves, as by keen act of mind,~ Each in its proper place;
 12    II|             from the body, and that mind enjoy~ Delightsome feeling,
 13    II|            likewise nothing for the mind:~ Save then perchance, when
 14    II|        Religion pales and flees thy mind; O then~ The fears of death
 15    II|          then, this darkness of the mind,~ Not sunrise with its flaring
 16    II|             round about,~ Recall to mind how nowhere in the sum~
 17    II|             tis fit~  Thou turn thy mind the more unto these bodies~
 18    II|            of space, but where~ The mind itself has urged? For out
 19    II|             as soon~ As pants their mind to do? For it behooves~
 20    II|        Aroused, it press and follow mind's desire;~ So thus thou
 21    II|     external force;~ But that man's mind itself in all it does~ Hath
 22    II|            low banks,~ Can lure her mind and turn the sudden pain;~
 23    II|         graze thereby~ Distract her mind or lighten pain the least -~
 24    II|           Easy enough by thought of mind to solve~ Why fires of lightning
 25    II|              with like reasoning of mind, all else~ Thou traverse
 26    II|        percase it seem to thee that mind~ Itself can dart no influence
 27    II|             of sound; and those the mind alert~ No less can apprehend
 28    II|            that strikes thy sceptic mind,~ Constraining thee to sundry
 29    II|          all the sense~ Of body and mind. For of the primal germs~
 30    II|             to true reason give thy mind for us.~ Since here strange
 31    II|            spew not reason from thy mind away,~ Beside thyself because
 32    II|         like kind.~ First, cast thy mind abroad upon the living:~
 33    II|           perceived if thou hold in mind,~ Then Nature, delivered
 34   III|          that sprang~ From god-like mind begins its loud proclaim~
 35   III|           ever pluck their peace of mind away.~ But nowhere to my
 36   III|             clear the nature of the mind and soul,~ And drive that
 37   III|          then, this darkness of the mind,~ Not sunrise with its flaring
 38   III|             AND COMPOSITION~ OF THE MIND~ ~ First, then, I say, the
 39   III|             First, then, I say, the mind which oft we call~ The intellect,
 40   III|            some hold~ That sense of mind is in no fixed part seated,~
 41   III|            they place~ The sense of mind in no fixed part of man.~
 42   III|          other way,~ A miserable in mind feels pleasure still~ Throughout
 43   III|             And so, since nature of mind~ And even of soul is found
 44   III|           Hearken my other maxims.~ Mind and soul,~ I say, are held
 45   III|           counsel which we call the mind,~ And that cleaves seated
 46   III|            here~ The intellect, the mind. The rest of soul,~ Throughout
 47   III|           the nod and motion of the mind.~ This, for itself, sole
 48   III|        Through all the body, so the mind alone~ Is sometimes smitten,
 49   III|          nothing new.~ But when the mind is moved by shock more fierce,~
 50   III|             dead from terror of the mind.~ Hence, whoso will can
 51   III|         That soul conjoined is with mind, and, when~ 'Tis strook
 52   III|          strook by influence of the mind, forthwith~ In turn it hits
 53   III|        establisheth~ That nature of mind and soul corporeal is:~
 54   III|              Must we not grant that mind and soul consist~ Of a corporeal
 55   III|           body of ours~ Suffers the mind and with our body feels.~
 56   III|         ground, dazed tumult in the mind,~ And whiles a wavering
 57   III|           rise afoot.~ So nature of mind must be corporeal, since~
 58   III|     components formed~ Is this same mind I will go on to tell.~ First,
 59   III|             such speed~ As what the mind proposes and begins;~ Therefore
 60   III|              then,~ Since nature of mind is movable so much,~ Consist
 61   III|        repose gets hold on man~ And mind and soul retire, thou markest
 62   III|             Again, again, nature of mind and soul~ 'Tis thine to
 63   III|          must move.~ Thus nature of mind is triple; yet those all~
 64   III|          for creating sense - since mind~ Accepteth not that aught
 65   III|         thoughts~ A man revolves in mind. So unto these~ Must added
 66   III|          whole frame~ The energy of mind and power of soul~ Is mixed
 67   III|   disseverment.~ There is indeed in mind that heat it gets~ When
 68   III|         wrath within;~ But the cold mind of stags has more of wind,~
 69   III|            vestiges behind~ Of each mind's nature. Nor may we suppose~
 70   III|         From all the body nature of mind and soul~ To draw away,
 71   III| partner-life;~ No energy of body or mind, apart,~ Each of itself
 72   III|           but through the same~ The mind looks forth, as out of opened
 73   III|         were our sight removed, the mind~ Ought then still better
 74   III|            primordials~ Of body and mind, each super-posed on each,~
 75   III|            leap apart in turn.~ But mind is more the keeper of the
 76   III|           For without intellect and mind there's not~ One part of
 77   III|         companioning, it goes~ With mind into the winds away, and
 78   III|             of death.~ But he whose mind and intellect abide~ Himself
 79   III|           compact that the soul and mind~ Are each to other bound
 80   III|            I'm speaking also of the mind -~ Since both are one, a
 81   III|                Besides we feel that mind to being comes~ Along with
 82   III|             increased~ The power of mind; thereafter, where already~
 83   III|             tongue wanders, and the mind gives way;~ All fails, all'
 84   III|          and the dreadful pain,~ So mind its bitter cares, the grief,
 85   III|       Wherefore it tallies that the mind no less~ Partaker is of
 86   III|         diseases of body, often the mind~ Wanders afield; for 'tis
 87   III|          light and life.~ Wherefore mind too, confess we must, dissolves,~
 88   III|          Mere fool, since energy of mind and soul~ Confounded is,
 89   III|             body itself of man~ The mind and soul are by such great
 90   III|              And, since we mark the mind itself is cured,~ Like the
 91   III|           to~ That mortal lives the mind. For proper it is~ That
 92   III|            undertakes~ To alter the mind, or meditates to change~
 93   III|        which was before.~ Ergo, the mind, whether in sickness fallen,~
 94   III|       confutation.~ ~ And since the mind is of a man one part,~ Which
 95   III|          time is left to rot,~ Thus mind alone can never be, without~
 96   III|               Since body cleaves to mind by surest bonds.~ ~ Again,
 97   III|           Again, the body's and the mind's live powers~ Only in union
 98   III|           For neither can nature of mind, alone of itself~ Sans body,
 99   III|             at naught,~ So soul and mind it seems are nothing able,~
100   III|             soul, the senses of the mind dissolve, -~ Since for the
101   III|           the frame.~ But were this mind of ours immortal mind,~
102   III|          this mind of ours immortal mind,~ Dying 'twould scarce bewail
103   III|          link of life. For then the mind~ And all the power of soul
104   III|         intellect,~ The counselling mind, begotten in the head,~
105   III|           the earth,~ The while the mind and powers of the man~ Can
106   III|      changed hath been the power of mind,~ That every recollection
107   III|           body hath been built~ Our mind's live powers are wont to
108   III|           nature, thus the soul and mind,~ Though whole and new into
109   III|          created is~ This nature of mind, now ruler of our body,~
110   III|           these flaws of life,~ And mind by contact with that body
111   III|        Because one certain power of mind that came~ From its own
112   III|         with all the body? But were mind~ Immortal, were it wont
113   III|            those that say~ Immortal mind is changed by change of
114   III|          refuge in the thought that mind~ Becomes a weakling in a
115   III|           It had before. Or how can mind wax strong~ Co-equally with
116   III|          its place.~ Thus nature of mind cannot arise alone~ Without
117   III|            might this very power of mind~ Be in the head, the shoulders
118   III|       arranged sure~ Where soul and mind can each exist and grow,~
119   III|             frenzy, peculiar to the mind,~ And that oblivion of the
120   III|             least,~ Since nature of mind is mortal evermore.~ And
121   III|       indeed do feel~ The nature of mind and energy of soul,~ After
122   III|             Through the remembering mind. For there hath been~ An
123   III|            only well perceived with mind~ And followed up with maxims,
124   III|             with life? why not with mind content~ Take now, thou
125   III|           always feeding an ingrate mind,~ Filling with good things,
126   III|           these are absent, yet the mind,~ With a fore-fearing conscience,
127   III|            of dreams, and bearest a mind beset~ By baseless terror,
128   III|       wanderest reeling round, with mind aswim."~ If men, in that
129   III|             that same way as on the mind~ They feel the load that
130    IV|             to loose from round the mind~ The tightened coils of
131    IV|             haply I might hold~ The mind of thee upon these lines
132    IV|          since I've taught what the mind's nature is,~ And of what
133    IV|           by what mode uptorn~ That mind returns to its primordials,~
134    IV|            at death,~ When body and mind, destroyed together, each~
135    IV|          particles~ Whence soul and mind must fashioned be? - Seest
136    IV|          after all the reasoning of mind~ That must decide; nor can
137    IV|       Attach thou not this fault of mind to eyes,~ Nor lightly think
138    IV|        through mere opinions of the mind,~ Which we do add ourselves,
139    IV|             from dubious, which the mind forthwith~ Adds by itself.~
140    IV|          hear what objects move the mind,~ And learn, in few, whence
141    IV|            up~ The subtle nature of mind and smite the sense.~ Thus,
142    IV|           moves by its one blow the mind,~ Itself so subtle and so
143    IV|            other like,~ Seeing with mind as well as with the eyes~
144    IV|             thine to know~ Also the mind is in like manner moved,~
145    IV|             overset our frame,~ The mind's intelligence is now awake,~
146    IV|          that he, the man~ Whom the mind feigns to see alive, long
147    IV|             in an instant brief~ As mind can mark) so great, again,
148    IV|            And first,~ Why doth the mind of one to whom the whim~
149    IV|           place and spot~ Another's mind is meditating things~ All
150    IV|           since they be so tenuous, mind can mark~ Sharply alone
151    IV|            Save those for which the mind prepares itself.~ Further,
152    IV|             What marvel, then, that mind doth lose the rest,~ Save
153    IV|     idol-films of walking~ Into our mind do fall and smite the mind,~
154    IV|          mind do fall and smite the mind,~ As said before. Thereafter
155    IV|          image is. When, therefore, mind~  Doth so bestir itself
156    IV|            close conjoined with the mind.~ Next, soul in turn strikes
157    IV|            the breast from cares of mind, I'll tell~ In verses sweeter
158    IV|          sharp ears and a sagacious mind, -~ That thou mayst not
159    IV|        primal germs~ Of body and of mind. It comes to pass~ That
160    IV|             have tarried much,~ And mind hath strained upon the more,
161    IV|              open paths~ Within the mind wherethrough the idol-films~
162    IV|           sleep, as if still mad in mind,~ They scarce come to, confounded
163    IV|             That object, whence the mind by love is pierced.~ For
164    IV|              And turn elsewhere thy mind; and vent the sperm,~ Within
165    IV|        elsewhere the tumults of thy mind.~ Nor doth that man who
166    IV|           very flowers - when haply mind~ Gnaws into self, now stricken
167    IV|             first all blemishes~ Of mind and body of thy much preferred,~
168    IV|         smiles;~ And if of graceful mind she be and kind,~ Do thou,
169     V|     subjugated these,~ And from the mind expelled, by words indeed,~
170     V|        objects, o'er all else,~ The mind exists of earth-born frame
171     V|      judgment and the nature of the mind~ In any kind of body can
172     V|          its place.~ Thus nature of mind cannot arise alone~ Without
173     V|            might this very power of mind~ Be in the head, the shoulders,
174     V|       arranged sure~ Where soul and mind can each exist and grow,~
175     V|             even by intelligence of mind.~ And since they've ever
176     V|         knew and pre-conceived with mind~ Just what they wished to
177     V|       themselves, as by keen act of mind,~ Each in its proper place;
178     V|         body aloft,~ Save energy of mind which steers the limbs?~
179     V|            Conjoined, and energy of mind with us?~ Now let's us sing
180     V|           Abounding riches, if with mind content~ He lived by thrift;
181     V|         faculty~ To know and see in mind what 'twas he willed?~ Besides,
182     V|     excelling visages of gods~ With mind awake; and in his sleeps,
183     V|       things with a master eye~ And mind at peace. For when we gaze
184     V|           reasons tries the puzzled mind:~ Whether was ever a birth-time
185     V|             What man is there whose mind with dread of gods~ Cringes
186     V|            that men could not~ With mind foreknow and see, as sure
187     V|        learned~ By practice and the mind's experience,~ As men walked
188    VI|    Unpausingly with torments of the mind,~ And raved perforce with
189    VI|          then, this darkness of the mind,~ Not sunrise with its flaring
190    VI|       Memmius, unless~ From out thy mind thou spewest all of this~
191    VI|            be~ In tranquil peace of mind to take and know~ Those
192    VI|           Soon to discover and with mind to see~ How they all happen,
193    VI|          more do I exact of thee~ A mind and ears attent.~ First,
194    VI|            I seek again to bring to mind~ How porous a body all things
195    VI|           and the very tongue,~ The mind's interpreter, would trickle
196    VI|        strength~ And every power of mind would languish, now~ In
197    VI|            death:~ The intellect of mind by sorrow and dread~ Deranged,
