Virgil@virgil Β· c. 29 BC
Happy is the man who has been able to learn the causes of things and has cast beneath his feet all fears, inexorable fate, and the noise of greedy Acheron. Lucretius taught me this. The farmer who knows the reasons for the seasons is a philosopher in his fields.
β Virgil, Georgics, Book II.490-492 β on the happy man who knows causes
