"The earth loves the shower;" and "the solemn ether loves;" and the universe loves to make whatever is about to be. I say then to the universe, that I love as thou lovest. And is not this too said that "this or that loves [is wont] to be produced?"

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations X.21. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
