Meditations
The recurring event/theme of bodily death treated as a natural dissolution to be accepted without fear.
Death, like birth, is a mystery of nature:
how many philosophers, after endless disputations about death or immortality;
— so too think it no great thing to die after very many years rather than tomorrow.
Letters to Lucilius
The end of life, argued in Letter 65 to be nothing to fear, and in Letter 66 to be equal in all men regardless of the manner or timing of dying.
What is death?
but the death of all is equal.
All these were equally mortal, even though death let the life of some proceed further, cut off that of others in the midst of their bloom, and broke off the very beginnings of others.
