We are as leaves in jewelled springtime growingThat open to the sunlight’s quickening rays:
So joy we in our span of youth, unknowingIf God shall bring us good or evil days.
Two Fates beside thee stand; the one has sorrow,Dull age’s fruit; that other gives the boon
Of death, for youth’s fair flower has no tomorrow,And lives but as a sunlit afternoon.

Zeus or Poseidon 460 BC
“Single is the race, singleof men and gods;
From a single mother we both draw breath.But a difference of power in everythingkeeps us apart;
For the one is as Nothing, but the brazen skyStays a fixed habitation for ever.
Yet we can in greatness of mindOr of body be like the Immortals,....”
