In Brook Haxton's translation of Heraclitus' perennial classic, "Fragments," one can find a peculiar passage about Pythagoras:
Pythagoras may well have been the deepest in his learning of all men. And still he claimed to recollect details of former lives, being in one a cucumber, and one time a sardine.
This passage is most peculiar indeed. How does a person remember being, of all things, a cucumber? Or even a sardine?
Transmission out.
