Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream. For as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too. Marcus Aurelius. Meditations. Book 4.
Image: Although this is a Roman bust of a river god that very much resembles the sculpture of Tiberinus who lounges on the pediment of the Campidoglio in Rome, it is not ancient, but a 16th - 17th century CE work called Arno crafted of diorite that I photographed at The Louvre in Paris, France.
