"More than the ages of three old men's lives," observed the Sheikh. An old slave, as ancient-looking as his master, now brought a basket of dates, they were every one of them larger than our largest walnuts.
From the infinitesimal insect whose earthly career is rounded off in a few moments, hardly come before gone, to the longest-lived of living beings, to the oaks that stand beyond a thousand years, to the hills that seemed so enduring that the Hebrew poet called them "everlasting," to this earth, to planets away in the infinite azure, from the grain of sand to the totality of creations, from first to last, it is true that all is passing away.
