Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall cease to be…

“Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall cease to be never; Never was time it was not; End and Beginning are dreams! Birth-less and deathless and changeless remaineth the spirit forever. Death hath not touched it all, dead though the house of it seems!” quote by Edwin Arnold
