nec sic interemit mors res ut materiai corpora conficiat, sed coetum dissupat ollis; inde aliis aliud coniungit, et efficit omnes res ita convertant formas mutentque colores et capiant sensus et puncto tempore reddant; ut noscas referre eadem primordia rerum cum quibus et quali positura contineantur et quos inter se dent motus accipiantque, neve putes aeterna penes residere potesse corpora prima quod in summis fluitare videmus rebus et interdum nasci subitoque perire.
Nor does death so destroy things as to annihilate the bodies of matter, but it disperses their combination abroad; then it conjoins others with others, and brings it about that thus all things alter their shapes and change their colours and receive sensation and in a moment of time yield it up again; so that you may recognize how important it is with what and in what arrangement the same first-beginnings are held together, and what motions they give and receive mutually, and that you may not believe it possible that the first bodies for ever hold possession of that which we see floating upon the surface of things and sometimes being born and perishing on a sudden.
