[ Debemur morti nos nostraque: Horace—Ars Poetica, line 63.
As forests change their foliage year by year,
Leaves, that come first, first fall and disappear;
So antique words die out, and in their room,
Others spring up, of vigorous growth and bloom;
Ourselves and all that's ours, to death are due,
And why should words not be mortal too?
Martin's translation.]
