How is Life so joyful! that we must mourn the River and It's wandering courses?

The Decay of All Stars, the Exhaustion and Rebirth of Will

Roll on, ye Stars! exult in youthful prime, mark with bright curves the print-less steps of Time; near and more near your beamy cars approach, And lessening orbs on lessening orbs encroach; flowers of the sky! ye too to age must yield, frail as your silken sisters of the field! Star after star from Heaven's high arch shall rush, suns sink on suns, and systems systems crush, headlong, extinct, to one dark center fall, And Death and Night and Chaos mingle all! Till o'er the wreck, emerging from the storm, Immortal Nature lifts her changeful form, mounts from her funeral pyre on wings of flame, and soars and shines, another and the same.

-Erasmus Darwin

How is Life so joyful! that we must mourn the River and It's wandering courses?

This is your home...
