Nihil durare potest tempore perpetuo Cum bene sol nituit, redditur Oceano; Decrescit Phoebe quae modo plena fuit. Venerum feritas saepe fit dura levis.
Nothing can last for all time: When the Sun has shone brightly it returns to Ocean; The Moon wanes, which recently was full. Even so the fierceness of Venus often becomes a puff of wind.
