Sol 5.6

  1. Death tears down what has been built—

    —by Time, after all its building-up;

  2. and within it the hand of decay works its change,

    after its radiance and bloom,

  3. until you see the once-radiant body—

    —made restless at every turn,

  4. after youthful freshness and beauty—

    —like one battered with stones.
