Leaves"
Marcus Aurelius.l

Marcus Aurelius.1
To him whois penetrated by true
principles even the briefest precept
is sufficient, and common precept, to
remind him that he should be free
from grief and fear. For example,
says Homer:
"Leaves some the wind scatters on
ground
So is the race of men."
Leaves are also thy children, and
leaves, too, are they who cry out as
if they were worthy Of credit and
bestow their praise or, on the con-
trary, curse or secretly blame and
sheer, and leaves in like manner are
those who shall receive and transmit
mans fame to aftertimes, for all
such things as these "are produced
in the season of springs" as the poet
says. Then the forest produces 9TH
er leaves in their places. But a brief
existence is common to all things,
and yet thou avoidest and pursuest
all things as if they would be eternal.
A little time, and thou shalt close thy
eyes, and him who has attended thee
to thy grave another soon will lament.
