sic aequo geritur certamine principiorum ex infinito contractum tempore bellum: nunc hic nunc illic superant vitalia rerum et superantur item, miscetur funere vagor quem pueri tollunt visentes luminis oras; nec nox ulla diem neque noctem aurora secutast quae non audierit mixtos vagitibus aegris ploratus mortis comites et funeris atri.
Thus the war of first-beginnings waged from infinity is carried on with doubtful issue: now here, now there the vital elements gain the mastery, and in like manner are mastered. With the funeral dirge is mingled the wail that children raise when they first see the borders of light; and no night ever followed day, or dawn followed night, that has not heard mingled with their sickly wailings the lamentations that attend upon death and the black funeral.
