Meditations, VII, 32
Chapter 32 of Book VII of the Meditations. First the passage as Stoïque shows it, after Long, 1862; then the whole chapter, word for word, in that edition, and the same chapter in French.
The passage in the app
About death: whether it is a dispersion, or a resolution into atoms, or annihilation, it is either extinction or change.
— MARCUS AURELIUS · MEDITATIONS, VII, 32
After Long, 1862 — modernized.
On the widgets
Not every widget family holds a passage this long. The app never cuts one: where it does not fit, a shorter passage takes its place, with its reference. The circular widget carries the locator alone.
The whole chapter in Long’s 1862 edition
About death: whether it is a dispersion, or a resolution into atoms, or annihilation, it is either extinction or change.
