But man is a Noble Animal, splendid in ashes,.... : Quote by Thomas Browne

“ But man is a Noble Animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave, solemnizing Nativities and Deaths with equal lustre, nor omitting Ceremonies of bravery, in the infamy of his nature. Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible Sun within us. ”

Thomas Browne
