As for mortals, their days are like grass;
they flourish like a flower of the field;
for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
- Psalm 103:15-16, NRSVUE
The people of long ago are not remembered,
nor will there be any remembrance of people
yet to come by those who come after them.
- Ecclesiastes 1:11, NRSVUE
