Heraclitus calls the downward flow of consciousness the state of moisture, and the upward rise of
consciousness the state of dryness. Moisture and dryness depend on fire and water. And he says the
spirit, the human mind, takes pleasure in being moist...

干燥的灵魂是最智慧最好的


一个醉汉由一个孩子领着，
他跌跌撞撞地跟在身后，
并不知道要走向哪里，
因为他的灵魂潮湿了。


灵魂喜欢变成潮湿的。


干燥的灵魂是最智慧最好的。
A drunken man has to be led by a young boy,
whom he follows stumbling
and not knowing whither he goes,
for his soul is moist.


Souls take pleasure in becoming moist.


A dry soul is wisest and best.
