Incense on the altar. Marcus Aurelius 4.15

Nature will have her way, and in her own time, not ours.

Πολλὰ λιβανωτοῦ βωλάρια ἐπὶ τοῦ αὐτοῦ βωμοῦ· τὸ μὲν προκατέπεσεν, τὸ δ’ ὕστερον, διαφέρει δ’ οὐδέν.

Many little lumps of frankincense lie on the same altar. One falls now, another later, and it makes no difference.
