The policeman stood there; he saw his face: it was not bad, not cruel; it was like the face of a statue, fixed, perdurable a mere image of irresponsible and involuntary authority. Then Conrad fell forward, pierced through the heart by that shot fired from the car.
She raised her head and looking at me with great eyes, recited the following verses: That which the years had dyed, I dyed erewhen but, sooth to tell, My dye endureth not, whilst that of Time's perdurable Clad in the raiment of my youth and beauty, of old days, Proudly I walked, and back and front, men had with me to mell "By Allah," cried I, "bravo to thee for an old woman!
But Amador become an abbot, became steady and austere, because he had conquered his evil desires by his labours, and recast his nature at the female forge, in which is that fire which is the most perfecting, persevering, persistent, perdurable, permanent, perennial, and permeating fire that there ever was in the world.

But Epicurus is in this wiser and more learned than Plato, that he calls them all equally ENTIA, to wit, the impalable voidness, the solid and resisting body, the principles, and the things composed of them, and thinks that the eternal participates of the common substance with that which is generated, the immortal with the corruptible, and the natures that are impassible, perdurable, unchangeable, and that can never fall from their being, with those which have their essence in suffering and changing, and can never continue in one and the same state.
