Nada conviene más a un hombre..., Marsilio Ficino



"Nada conviene más a un hombre que un discurso sobre el alma. Así se cumple el mandato de Delfos "Conócete a ti mismo", y examinamos todo lo demás, ya sea por encima o por debajo del alma, con una visión más profunda ".


Marsilio Ficino

Why do we think love is a magician ?..., Marsilio Ficino








"Why do we think love is a magician? Because the whole power of magic consists in love. The work of magic is the attraction of one thing by another because of a certain affinity of nature. But the parts of this world, like the parts of a single animal, all deriving from a single author, are joined to each other by the communion of a single nature. Just as the brain, lungs, heart, liver and the rest of the parts draw something from each other and sympathize with any of them when it suffers, so the parts of this great animal, that is all of the bodies of the world, similarly joined together, borrow and lend natures to and from each other. From this common relationship is born a common love; from love a common attraction. And this is the true magic."


Marsilio Ficino
