can't empower himself.
He who clings to his work
will create nothing that endures. — Lao Tzu

To see the light of beauty wane away,
Know eyes are dimming, bosoms shrivelling, feet

And feel all things go to decay within us. — Philip James Bailey

The history of the cosmos
is the history of the struggle of becoming.

then every atom of the cosmos trembled with delight. — D. H. Lawrence
