Tao Te Ching

“The harp playing of Xanthippe and her talk, her expressive eyes and her song — and the fire within her just now beginning; these, my soul, will inflame you. The reasons why or whence or how I do not know; but you will know, ill-fated soul, that you are burning.”

— Philodemus Φιλόδημος 110 – 35 BCE
(of Gadara)
