Metaphorest

Hear us, you who are no more than leaves always falling, you mortals benighted by nature,You enfeebled and powerless creatures of earth always haunting a world of mere shadows,Entities without wings, insubstantial as dreams, you ephemeral things, you human beings:Turn your minds to our words, our etherial words, for the words of the birds last forever!

From The Birds by Aristophanes, 414 BC
