Setting Sun Quote by Titus Lucretius Carus

“Though you outlive as many generations as you will, Nevertheless, Eternal Death is waiting for you still. It is no shorter, that eternity that lies in store For the man who with the setting sun today will rise no more, Than for the man whose sun has set months, even years, before.” quote by Titus Lucretius Carus — Download Open image
