"I travel along nature’s way until I fall down and take my rest, breathing out my last into
the air, from which I draw my daily breath, and falling down to that earth from which
my father drew his seed, my mother her blood and my nurse her milk, and from which
for so many years I have taken my daily food and drink, the earth which carries my
footsteps and which I have used to the full in so many ways."
– Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.4
