“All things pass, all things, that is, but mystery.”
“All things must pass.”
“All good things pass away.”
“All things that pass Are wisdom's looking-glass.”
“All things are like spring dreams, passing with no trace.”
“Ah, that shows you the power of music, that magician of magician, who lifts his wand and says his mysterious word and all things real pass away and the phantoms of your mind walk before you clothed in flesh.”
