“Our lives pass from us like the wind, and why
Should wise men grieve to know that they must die?
The Judas blossom fades, the lovely face
Of light is dimmed, and darkness takes its place.”
― Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings

All men must die, and it is vain to grieve.”

Men's evil, and their glory, disappear.”
