"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
