See the universe. Marcus Aurelius 5.24
Marcus
looks out at the universe, dwarfing himself and all humanity with
life and being too big for our mortal experience to grasp. Here is
wonder, and terror, and surrender, for all of us who look with him.
Μέμνησο
τῆς συμπάσης οὐσίας, ἧς ὀλίγιστον
μετέχεις, καὶ τοῦ σύμπαντος αἰῶνος,
οὗ βραχὺ καὶ ἀκαριαῖόν
σοι διάστημα ἀφώρισται, καὶ τῆς
εἱμαρμένης, ἧς πόστον εἶ μέρος;
Remember
the vastness of all material existence, of which you possess only the
smallest portion, and think upon the age of the universe, an age
wherein your own little life occupies but a brief moment. Call to
mind then the fate that binds all things together: what is your share
in the web she weaves?
