Some likewise are of opinion, that the bodies in the air, and in the heavens, are nourished by vapours from fountains and rivers, and other exhalations. But the Stoics assert, that the sun is nourished by the exhalation from the sea; the moon from the vapours of fountains and rivers; and the stars from the exhalation of the earth.
Porphyry, On the Cave of the Nymphs.

as frozen water loses the habit of snowflakes.
I will take my frozen body
and give it to the young goats that they might graze it.
