Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead, more than the living which are yet alive... A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth... A man has no pre-eminence over a beast... All go unto one place, all turn to dust again... All is vanity. --Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes studies history and concludes that this, too, is vanity, for history in the large repeats itself and, like the family Bible, is a record of births and deaths.
