A Time to Keep Silence, and a Time to Speak
Aeschylus, Eumenides 276-278 (tr. Herbert Weir Smyth):
Newer› ‹Older
Schooled by misery, I have knowledge of
many ordinances of purification and I know where speech is proper
and silence likewise.
ἐγὼ διδαχθεὶς ἐν κακοῖς ἐπίσταμαι
πολλοὺς καθαρμούς, καὶ λέγειν ὅπου δίκη
σιγᾶν θ' ὁμοίως.
277 πολλοὺς καθαρμούς codd.: πολλῶν τε καιροὺς Blass
