Line 35, fr. 8 of his Poem, Parmenid is said to have said, according to the text handed down by Simplicius: “Were it not for the being in which it is expressed, you will never find thinking.” The difficulty of resting thought in the being disappears if one adopts Proclus’ text: “Without the being, through which it expresses itself, you never find thought.”
