this page is dedicated
to
Diogenes
of Sinope the Cynic
Tell me, Oh! Dog!, who is the man whose monument
thou art guarding?
He is no one but the Dog Himself! But who could
have been this man,
the Dog Himself? Diogenes, indeed! And what is
his place of origin?
He was a man from Sinope. He who used to live
in a tub? Yes, indeed,
he himself! But now, in his death, he lives among
the stars!
My name is Diogenes,my
nickname is dog.
Ferryman you
bring the dead men
to the otherside
of Hades,
bring me also,and
if I did something
in my whole life,
it is that I
relieved the human life
from any useless
pride!
