“A man is born, grows, reaches its peak, weakens and dies. Despite his blindness, he nevertheless admits that his death is not absolute, as nothing at all in nature freezes completely. He does not realize that as soon as the time comes, he will also be reborn with the same ease with which the trees do it. He cannot pretend to be reborn in the same body, but trees do not need the same leaves that they had on them last summer. Our bodies are leaves, and the roots remain the same as the soul forever lives.”
