Meditations · Marcus Aurelius

VII. Whatsoever is material, doth soon vanish away into the common

substance of the whole; and whatsoever is formal, or, whatsoever doth

animate that which is material, is soon resumed into the common reason

of the whole; and the fame and memory of anything, is soon swallowed

up by the general age and duration of the whole.
