During the course of a month, our body undergoes a complete transformation; today we are made of completely different material than four weeks ago. Similar to that piece of cloud that seems to be brooding over a higher ridge; the eye thinks it sees the same group of mists in front of it, although, being in constant growth and attack, its constituent parts change, but its shape remains. Or similar to the foam cluster, which retains its shape permanently, but owes its existence to new foams due to continuous distribution and formation.
""Egy hó lefolyta alatt testünk teljes átváltozáson megy keresztül; ma merőben más anyagrészekből vagyunk összetéve, mint négy héttel ezelőtt. Hasonlóan azon felhő-darabhoz, mely egy magasabb orom fölött borongani látszik; a szem azt véli, mikép ugyanazon ködcsoportulatot látja maga előtt, pedig az folytonos enyészésben és támadásban lévén, egybetevő részei változnak, de alakja megmarad. Vagy hasonlóan azon habfürtözethez, mely megtartja ugyan állandóan alakját, de a folytonos eloszlás és alakulás folytán uj meg uj haboknak köszöni lételét."
