Plotinus, Enneads 5.5 (DIORISIS sentence 3995)

grc plotinus enneads

Ἢ οὐ δεῖ ζητεῖν πόθεν οὐ γάρ ἐστι τὸ πόθεν οὔτε γὰρ ἔρχεται οὔτε ἄπεισιν οὐδαμοῦ, ἀλλὰ φαίνεταί τε καὶ οὐ φαίνεται διὸ οὐ χρὴ διώκειν, ἀλλʼ ἡσυχῆι μένειν, ἕως ἂν φανῆι, παρασκευάσαντα ἑαυτὸν θεατὴν εἶναι, ὥσπερ ὀφθαλμὸς ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου περιμένει ὁ δὲ ὑπερφανεὶς τοῦ ὁρίζοντος ἐξ ὠκεανοῦ φασιν οἱ ποιηταί ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν θεάσασθαι τοῖς ὄμμασιν.
