The Sum of All Things Copyright 2013 Addie Hirschten Oil on Canvas 18" x 36" |
Nothing retains its form;
new shapes from old.
Nature, the great inventor, ceaselessly contrives.
In all creation, be assured, there is no death – no death, but only change and
innovation;
what we men call birth is but a different new beginning;
death is but to cease to be the same. Perhaps this may have moved to that,
and that to this, yet still...
the sum of things remains the same.
-Ovid, Metamorphosis
