Sed statuae intereunt tempestate, vi, vetustate, sepulcrorum autem sanctitas in ipso solo est, quod nulla vi moveri neque deleri potest, atque, ut cetera exstinguuntur, sic sepulcra sanctiora fiunt vetustate.
But statues perish by weather, physical force, or age, whereas the sanctity of tombs is inherent in the soil itself, which no physical force can remove or obliterate; and while other things are destroyed by the lapse of time, tombs only grow more sacred.
