Solar flare

When I went to men for the first time, I committed the folly of hermits, the great folly: I set myself in the market-place.
And when I spoke to everyone, I spoke to no one.

The four humours in ancient medicine

Dante Alighieri referred to Aristotle in his Divine Comedy as “The Master of Those Who Know.” 

He ran and ran and found no one else and was alone and found himself again and again and enjoyed and relished his solitude and thought of good things, for hours on end. About the hour of noon, however, when the sun stood  exactly over his head, he passed by an old gnarled and crooked tree which was embraced around by the abundant love of a vine and hidden from itself: from the vine an abundance of yellow grapes hung down to the wanderer. Then he felt a desire to relieve a little thirst and to pluck himself a grape; but when he had already extended his arm to do so, he felt an even greater desire to do something else: that is, to lie down beside the tree at the hour of perfect noon and sleep.
This he did; and no sooner had he lain down upon the ground, in the stillness and secrecy of the multicoloured grass, than he forgot his little thirst and fell asleep.

- Thus Spoke Zarathustra
