You, Nikolai, hastened to foretell the end of the world, obeying the stars; You could neither predict nor foreknow the sudden end of your life. What could be crazier than your craziness? Therefore, truly you are teachers of vain wisdom, you who think that everything is governed by the stars, cannot foresee your own misfortune, as Leonidas says: “Magi who watch the movement of the stars! Disappear, you teachers of lies and vain wisdom! Courage gave birth to you, madness educated you, but you cannot foresee your misfortune.
