Nullum numen abest si sit prudentia ; nos, te, 
Nos facimus, Fortuna, Deam, cceloque locamus. 
—JUVENAL, Sat. x. 366. 
Oh wondrous scheme decreed of old on high, 
At once to take and give, 
He that is born begins to die, 
And he that dies to live: 
For life is death, and death is life, 
A harmony of endless strife, 
And mode of universal growth 
Is seen alike in both. 
—Chorus in “ Narcissus.”
