From the Mountains to the Sea
Southern Europe isn’t a founding cradle
of what’s now called “civilization” like the
valleys of the Nile or Euphrates rivers–
more of a boot camp
with a central sea to learn sailing, Spain and
Greece for mountains with their stark hill-men’s outlook
teaching them to march in grim lines for war and
fight to the finish.
Likewise in philosophy drilling to the
heart of knowledge, ultimate questions, logic...
how are men to govern their living, find the
truth of their being?
