Lucretius
Image
Life is one long struggle in the dark.
Lucretius
Image
Thus the sum of things is ever being reviewed, and mortals dependent one upon another. Some nations increase, others diminish, and in a short space the generations of living creatures are changed and like runners pass on the torch of life.
Lucretius
Image

Lucretius
