In this verse translation by A. E. Stallings, Lucretius presents Epicurean philosophy through a sweeping poem about atoms, nature, perception, mortality, desire, fear, and the place of the gods. The Nature of Things argues that understanding the material world can free human beings from superstition and terror of death. Richard Jenkyns provides an introduction to the poem’s historical and intellectual setting, while Stallings preserves its combination of philosophical argument, scientific speculation, moral urgency, and literary craft.
