Tears for the mourners who are left behind Peace everlasting for the quiet dead.

Lucretius

Now come: that thou mayst able be to know That minds and the light souls of all that live Have mortal birth and death, I will go on Verses to build meet for thy rule of life, Sought after long, discovered with sweet toil.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur

LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
How many evils have flowed from religion.
LUCRETIUS

Gently touching with the charm of poetry.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
What once sprung from the earth sinks back into the earth.
LUCRETIUS

Earth Sink
Thus the sum Forever is replenished, and we live As mortals by eternal give and take. The nations wax, the nations wane away; In a brief space the generations pass, And like to runners hand the lamp of life One unto other.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur

LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
It’s easier to avoid the snares of love than to escape once you are in that net whose cords and knots are strong; but even so, enmeshed, entangled, you can still get out unless, poor fool, you stand in your own way.
LUCRETIUS

Avoid Easy Fools Knot Love Stand Way Yourself
You alone govern the nature of things. Without you nothing emerges into the light of day, without you nothing is joyous or lovely.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
Air, I should explain, becomes wind when it is agitated.

Death is nothing to us, it matters not one jot, since the nature of the mind is understood to be mortal.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
All nature, then, as self-sustained, consists Of twain of things: of bodies and of void In which they’re set, and where they’re moved around.
LUCRETIUS

Body Empty Move Nature Sustain
