The Greek Poets: Homer to the Present, Constantine, et al, eds. (Norton, 2010)
excerpt:
When I heard you were dead, Heraclitus,
tears came, and I remembered how often
you and I had talked the sun to bed.
Long ago you turned to ashes, my Halicarnassian friend,
but your poems, your Nightingales, still live.
Hades clutches all things yet can't touch these.
--Callimachus
(third century BCE; translated by Edmund Keeley)
