Episode 23 - Inspiration, as Flames or Growing Trees
In this episode we talk about the contrasts between two different quotes on the same timeless theme, small beginnings and great endeavors. The first is a Greek quote from Episode 12;
"From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow."
- Aeschylus
And the more passionate Italian version is:
"From a little spark may burst a flame."
- Dante
We also discuss how this contrast shows the beauty and wealth of a variety of expressions on knowledge and experience, and the treasures of the Ancient World - as inspiration for today.
