But come, look upon the witnesses to this former discourse of mine, should beauty have been lacking in it earlier: the sun, hot to see and dazzling all over, all the immortals that are bathed in heat and brilliant rays; rain in all things dark and chill; and from the earth pour forth things rooted and solid. In Anger all are of different forms and separate, but in Love they come together and are desired by each other. From them comes all that was and is and will be in future-trees have sprung up and men and women, beasts and birds and water-bred fish, and long-lived gods, too, highest in honour. For there are just these, but running through each other they assume different appearances: so much does mixture change them.
