💦 FULL SET: Profiles/ - Full Archive

Now then, listen. In order for you to fully comprehend
That minds and flimsy spirits have a birthday and an end,
I've spent long hours hunting the right words, and labour of love,
To set forth for you in poetry that's worthy of
Your life's calling. But do this favor for me just the same,
And yoke both of these concepts underneath a single name,
So that, say, when I speak of Spirit, teaching that it dies,
Understand I am referring to the Mind likewise,
Seeing that a single soul is formed out of their union.

Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, Book 3, lines 417 - 25
