(6) [centered]

4 In the permanence of the System it is in-
-timated to us that we may be
immortal
~

Nothing can break over its bound
In nat. [nature] no annihilation.

Naught but fading & decay.

Not the smallest atom comes to naught.
All things return into themselves.
The seasons – the leaves – the flora.
Our bodies change but perish not
Nature comes back to renovate
herself – – There is a constant re-
-suscitation. Our friends are not
lost. Death does not kill – The
circle will come round again.
