1, 2:—
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Thus do the generations of the earth
Go to the grave, and issue from the womb.
‘One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the
earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down,
and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the
south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually,
and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers
run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence
the rivers come, thither they return again.’—Ecclesiastes, chapter 1
verses 4-7.
