How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise!
Homer

Sweet sleep fell upon his eyelids, unwakeful, most pleasant, the nearest like death.
Homer

Insignificant mortals, who are as leaves are, and now flourish and grow warm with life, and feed on what the ground gives, but then again fade away and are dead.
Homer
