The Folly of Time
From Forty-Two Tales, by Athanasios (121):
The spirit of Time was angry at Straton of Stageira, for the old philosopher had asked questions that were forbidden.
"If man is no more than dust," it said to him, "then I shall turn you back to dust, and my winds will disperse you to the far corners of the world. Thus you will be nothing, and your questions will trouble me no more."
And so Time did, and Straton of Stageira was nothing. But Straton's voice did not cease, and Time was perplexed. All across its domain it searched for Straton, yet he was nowhere to be found. Only his books remained, and of these men made copies; and Straton's voice grew louder.
Now Time was furious, but Straton laughed and laughed and laughed.
