“Remind yourself likewise that what you love is mortal, that what you love is not your own.” Epictetus

present 
never givesway 
but 
rather cannot 
          be as 
       to your own 
restraint it 
       is 
mortal 
         that if it 
        like a 
      fig or 
   crystal 
        it restrains as mortal goblet if it not 
be 
distressed then in its seasons 
       present and 
        remember 
      what 
     harm is 
there mortal that if 
   it

      these generals when 
you become attached to murmur softly 
  to 
something else while 
your affections nor friends not 
        be as

you remember
then that what harm is 
       mortal that

      that the appointed became attached 
to

         that they ride to it in it on it
