Some lie beneath the churchyard stone,
And some before the speaker.

Would that we two were lying
Beneath the churchyard sod,
With our limbs at rest in the green earth's breast,
And our souls at home with God.Charles Kingsley
Spinoza says that if a stone which has been projected through the air, had consciousness, it would believe that it was moving of its own free will. I add this only, that the stone would be right. The impulse given it is for the stone what the motive is for me, and what in the case of the stone appears as cohesion, gravitation, rigidity, is in its inner nature the same as that which I recognise in myself as will, and what the stone also, if knowledge were given to it, would recognise as will.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Chorus: [We] must look beneath every stone, lest it conceal some orator ready to sting us.
(tr. O'Neill 1938, Perseus)Aristophanes
Beneath this stone lies Bias, who was born
In the illustrious Prienian land,
The glory of the whole Ionian race.Bias of Priene
The speaker must choose a comprehensible [verstandlich] expression so that speaker and hearer can understand one another.
