Additional quotes by Publius Papinius Statius

Sic auferre rogis umbram conatur et ingens
certamen cum Morte gerit, curasque fatigat
artificum inque omni te quaerit amare metallo.
Sed mortalis honos, agilis quem dextra laborat.

In speculis Mors atra sedet dominoque silentes
adnumerat populos; maior superinminet ordo.
arbiter hos dura versat Gortynius urna
vera minis poscens adigitque expromere vitas
usque retro.

Auro mansueverat ungues.
