![I have reared a memorial more enduring than brass, and loftier than the regal structure of the pyramids, which neither the corroding shower nor the powerless north wind can destroy; no, not even unending years nor the flight of time itself.

Possit diruere aut innumerabilis
Annorum series et fuga temporum.
Non omnis moriar, multaque pars mei
Vitabit Libitinam.]](/assets/img/quote-photos/i-have-reared-a-memorial-more-enduring-than-brass-and-loftier-than-the-regal-str.jpg)
