\u201cFor the gods perceive future things,
\nordinary people things in the present, but
\nthe wise perceive things about to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Philostratos, Life of Apollonios of Tyana, viii, 7.<\/p>\n
Ordinary people know what\u2019s happening now,
\nthe gods know future things
\nbecause they alone are totally enlightened.
\nOf what\u2019s to come the wise perceive
\nthings about to happen.<\/p>\n
Sometimes during moments of intense study
\ntheir hearing\u2019s troubled: the hidden sound
\nof things approaching reaches them,
\nand they listen reverently, while in the street outside<\/p>\n
the people hear nothing whatsoever.<\/p>\n
