Reading Passage
Past and Present
Seneca gives his thoughts on life.
In tria tempora vita dividitur: quod fuit, quod est, quod
futurum est.
Ex eis, quod agimus breve est, quod acturi sumus dubium, quod
egimus certum. Multi homines sunt tam occupati ut illis non
vacet non vacet=there is
no time
praeterita respicere; illis tempora praeterita elapsa
sunt et eorum praeteritus,
-a, -um = past
memoria amittitur. Praesens tempus ita brevissimum est
ut quibusdam hominibus nullum videatur; nam in cursu
id semper nullum = no (time)
est et desinit ese antequam advenit; nec magis moram
desinit = cease; moram = delay
patitur quam mundus aut sidera. Praesens tempus igitur
solum patitur = permit;
solum = only
ad occupatos pertinet, quod tam breve est ut capi non possit.
