De Rerum Natura
Nature personified or invoked as the universal system of creation and dissolution, whose law (ex nihilo nihil fit and its corollary) is the core of Lucretian philosophy.
Which I presume on Nature to compose
But only Nature's aspect and her law,
Each in the end when each is overthrown.
Consolation to Marcia
Nature, personified as a speaker who addresses humanity about the terms of life, warning of both its wonders and its dangers.
To us all Nature says:
Nothing forbids that they perform your last rites, and that you be praised by your children;
you will learn and you will teach arts, some to furnish life, others to adorn it, others to govern it.
