Death is rest from life's business. Marcus Aurelius 6.28

Marcus Aurelius takes another crack at death (cf. Notes 2.2, 12; 3.1; 4.5, 37, 44, 46, 47, 48, 50; 6.24).

Θάνατος ἀνάπαυλα αἰσθητικῆς ἀντιτυπίας καὶ ὁρμητικῆς νευροσπαστίας καὶ διανοητικῆς διεξόδου καὶ τῆς πρὸς τὴν σάρκα λειτουργίας.

Death spells the end of our sensory reflection, of the strumming impulses that pluck our sinews. A pause in the outward passage of our understanding, interrupting the regular service we render unto the flesh.
