Not one death but many,
not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
the law

Source, in full

Around an appearance, one common model, we grow up / many. Else how is it, / if we remain the same, / we take pleasure now / in what we did not take pleasure before? love / contrary objects? admire and / or find fault? use / other words, feel other passions, have / nor figure, appearance, disposition, tissue / the same?

Notes from Wikiquote

Into the same river no man steps twice When fire dies air dies No one remains, nor is, one | To be in different states without a change is not a possibility | Part I, 4
