Description: |
The "De Rerum Natura" of Lucretius is a lucid explanation of physical phenomena that develops into a majestic vision of the ultimate nature of the universe. |
Synopsis: |
This famous cross between poetry and philosophy follows Lucretius' enquiring, scientific mind as he investigates the workings of mirror images, thunderstorms and magnetism, and the significance of sleep. The poem's power lies in the tension between the brief, sensuous richness of life and Lucretius' overarching belief in an empty universe of eternally recurring elements. |
