  1     I|        seeds of things,~ Or primal bodies, as primal to the world.~ ~
  2     I|             he said, nor souls nor bodies fare,~ But only phantom
  3     I|         stuff, from its own primal bodies.~ And all from all cannot
  4     I|           many things~ Have primal bodies in common (as we see~ The
  5     I|       dissolves~ Into their primal bodies again, and naught~ Perishes
  6     I|          perceive;~ For mark those bodies which, though known to be~
  7     I|           Tis clear, are sightless bodies sweeping through~ The sea,
  8     I|            The winds are sightless bodies and naught else -~ Since
  9     I|         Thus Nature ever by unseen bodies works.~ THE VOID~ ~ But
 10     I|            Which but for voids for bodies to go through~ 'Tis clear
 11     I|            to go?~ Thus either all bodies of motion are deprived,~
 12     I|       where after impact two broad bodies~ Suddenly spring apart,
 13     I|       whole new void between those bodies formed;~ But air, however
 14     I|            think this comes,~ When bodies spring apart, because the
 15     I|             Of twain of things: of bodies and of void~ In which they'
 16     I|          the inane,~ Nowhere could bodies then be set, nor go~ Hither
 17     I|        thus,~ Beside the inane and bodies, is no third~ Nature amid
 18     I|          CHARACTER OF THE ATOMS~ ~ Bodies, again,~ Are partly primal
 19     I| disentangle how there still exist~ Bodies of solid, everlasting frame -~
 20     I|           void inane.~ Thus primal bodies are solid, without a void.~
 21     I|          as, without~ Some certain bodies to fill the places held,~
 22     I|           There are, then, certain bodies, possessed of power~ To
 23     I|            assault.~ Thus if first bodies be, as I have taught,~ Solid,
 24     I|         more and more,~ By now the bodies of matter would have been~
 25     I|     corporeal world,~ Yet must all bodies of whatever things~ Have
 26     I|          How 'tis that, though the bodies of all stuff~ The ways whereby
 27     I|           a minimum,~ The smallest bodies would have infinites,~ Since
 28     I|     confess thou must~ That primal bodies are solid and eterne.~ Again,
 29     I|      indeed there are those surest bodies~ Which keep their nature
 30     I|         thine to know those primal bodies, then,~ Are not of fire.
 31     I|          The truth, I fancy, this: bodies there are~ Whose clashings,
 32     I|         else has power to send its bodies~ With impact touching on
 33     I|          can be no end~ In cutting bodies down to less and less~ Nor
 34     I|           truth.~ And, next, these bodies are among themselves~ In
 35     I|        rather presuppose there be~ Bodies with such a nature furnished
 36     I|           Nor any limit to cutting bodies down.~ Wherefore to me he
 37     I|        having in themselves~ Small bodies of thews, and bones, and
 38     I|          blood.~ Again, if all the bodies which upgrow~ From earth,
 39     I|       comes to view, of which~ The bodies exceed in number all the
 40     I|      cannot be,~ Unless thou feign bodies of matter endowed~ With
 41     I|         But since I've taught that bodies of matter, made~ Completely
 42     I|           repose is given~ Unto no bodies 'mongst the elements,~ Because
 43     I|       forth the vast,~ Are hurtled bodies evermore supplied.~ The
 44     I|             or that~ The ponderous bodies which be under earth~ Do
 45     I|             No more than these our bodies wing away~ Spontaneously
 46     I|         where, when they've come,~ Bodies can be at standstill in
 47     I|            they feign that not all bodies press~ To centre inward,
 48     I|          deemest first~ The primal bodies lacking, lo, that side~
 49    II|         what motions the begetting bodies~ Of the world-stuff beget
 50    II|           realm of rest for primal bodies; since~ (As amply shown
 51    II|          is rendered to the primal bodies~ Along the unfathomable
 52    II|           mind the more unto these bodies~ Which here are witnessed
 53    II|           of self,~ And then those bodies built of unions small~ And
 54    II|            upward go - nor let the bodies of flames~ Deceive thee
 55    II|           discharged~ From out our bodies, spurts its jets aloft~
 56    II|          that believe~ The heavier bodies, as more swiftly borne~
 57    II|        move to-day,~ The elemental bodies moved of old~ And shall
 58    II|            And why? - unless those bodies of light should be~ Finer
 59    II|          parts~ Consist the primal bodies, or add a few:~ When, now,
 60    II|            Be tossed the procreant bodies of one thing,~ Whence, then,
 61    II|       earth~ Hath in herself first bodies whence the springs,~ Rolling
 62    II|        creature,~ Throughout their bodies, and, conjoining there,~
 63    II|            and many~ With viewless bodies from their bodies fly,~
 64    II|         viewless bodies from their bodies fly,~ By blows impelled -
 65    II|            the same.~ For matter's bodies own no hue the least -~
 66    II|   influence of its own~ Into these bodies, wide thou wand'rest off.~
 67    II|             Tis thine to know that bodies can be brought~ No less
 68    II|       minds too,~ Though yet those bodies with no dye be smeared.~
 69    II|       since thou concedest not all bodies~ Send out a voice or smell,
 70    II|          not haply that the primal bodies~ Remain despoiled alone
 71    II|            odour from their proper bodies.~ Just as, when undertaking
 72    II|            nature change~ Into our bodies, and from our body, oft~
 73    II|         Grow strong the powers and bodies of wild beasts~ And mighty-winged
 74    II|           wormy grubs, because the bodies~ Of matter, from their old
 75    II|         since pain is there~ Where bodies of matter, by some force
 76    II|          they are~ Not made of any bodies of first things,~ Under
 77    II|      things that she destroys~ The bodies of matter; but she dissipates~
 78    II|         been create and that those bodies of stuff,~ So many, perform
 79    II|         and air arise around.~ For bodies all, from out all regions,
 80    II|           themselves~ Take in more bodies than they send from selves,~
 81    II|           to all sides round~ More bodies, sending them from out itself.~
 82    II|           fail~ Extremest eld, and bodies from outside~ Cease not
 83    II|           forth at birth~ Enormous bodies of wild beasts of old.~
 84   III|            all. Thus, in so far as bodies~ Are small and smooth, is
 85   III|             since create it is~ Of bodies small and few, so lurks
 86   III|          least as are the smallest bodies, which,~ When thrown against
 87   III|      dissolved~ Back to its primal bodies, when withdrawn~ From out
 88   III|          stuff much rarer than our bodies be?~ ~ Besides we feel that
 89   III|         dwelling places,~ Or enter bodies ready-made, as 'twere.~
 90   III|       souls for self no frames nor bodies make,~ Nor is there how
 91   III|            once might enter in~ To bodies ready-made - for they cannot~
 92   III|         were it wont to change its bodies,~ How topsy-turvy would
 93   III|        souls of men~ Go into human bodies, I will ask:~ How can a
 94   III|        things may~ Asunder fly, or bodies which can smite,~ And thus
 95    IV|           many be~ That send forth bodies, loosely some diffused -~
 96    IV|            outsides of things~ Are bodies many and minute which could,~
 97    IV|            light~ And made of tiny bodies are the swift;~ In which
 98    IV|      SENSES AND MENTAL PICTURES~ ~ Bodies that strike the eyes, awaking
 99    IV|   wan-yellow, since from out their bodies~ Flow many seeds wan-yellow
100    IV|           have measured with their bodies bright~ The span of heaven.
101    IV|            down below and heavenly bodies plunged~ Wondrously in heaven
102    IV|       fellow-men,~ And twain their bodies. And again, when sleep~
103    IV|           And so, when smooth~ The bodies of the oozy flavour, then~
104    IV|            changed, -~ So that the bodies which before were fit~ To
105    IV|      Stream and depart innumerable bodies~ In modes innumerable too;
106    IV|         too; but most~ Must be the bodies streaming from the living -~
107    IV|           from the living -~ Which bodies, vexed by motion evermore,~
108    IV|            tis then~ That the most bodies disarrange themselves,~
109    IV|        sudden urge~ To shake their bodies and start from off the ground,~
110    IV|         thee gathered, into sundry bodies,~ Nor, with thy thoughts
111    IV|            By merely gazing on the bodies, nor~ They cannot with their
112    IV|         their age, when now~ Their bodies have sweet presage of keen
113    IV|             Their parents in their bodies oft retain~ Concealed many
114    IV|  singleness of seed than faces~ Or bodies or limbs of ours: for every
115     V|       threefold nature, lo,~ Their bodies three, three aspects so
116     V|            turn restore to things~ Bodies, and thus recruit them as
117     V|       things may~  Asunder fly, or bodies which can smite,~ And thus
118     V|          void, nor are,~ Moreover, bodies lacking which, percase,~
119     V|         ever to whirl their living bodies round,~ And ever to dure
120     V|             Left with their liquid bodies pure and free,~ And each
121     V|          And feeding their flaming bodies everywhere~ Throughout the
122     V|       four-foot breeds~ And on the bodies of the strong-y-winged,~
123     V|        Scyllas be -~ The half-fish bodies girdled with mad dogs -~
124     V|           Would they refresh their bodies for the nonce;~ And the
125     V|           to use~ And clothe their bodies with the spoils of beasts;~
126     V|            would link~ The lovers' bodies; for the woman yielded~
127     V|            his sleeps, yet more -~ Bodies of wondrous growth. And,
128     V|            Splintered in their own bodies, and would fell~ In rout
129    VI|       images which from their holy bodies~ Are carried into intellects
130    VI|          with minute~ And dartling bodies - a fire 'gainst which there'
131    VI|        along -~ Losing some larger bodies which cannot~ Pass, like
132    VI|           air itself~ Some smaller bodies, carries them along,~ And
133    VI|          the while~ It loseth many bodies of stark cold~ And taketh
134    VI|          out the air~ Some certain bodies, which by their own blows~
135    VI|            stupendous speed~ Those bodies fly and how they're wont
136    VI|          and strewn about, about,~ Bodies that strike the eyes, awaking
137    VI|         That from such elements no bodies can~ From out the iron collect
138    VI|         That whelmed their parched bodies, lo, would make~ A goodly
139    VI|         Began to sicken, and their bodies would lie~ Huddled within
140    VI|       about~ Rather than quit dead bodies loved in life.~ ~ ~  -THE
