"Hence we are hard, we children of the earth, / And in our lives of toil we prove our birth." - Ovid's Metamorphoses

"When the sun's radiance warmed the pristine moisture / And the slime and oozy marshlands swelled with heat, / And in that pregnant soil the seeds of things, / Nourished as in a mother's womb, gained life / And grew and gradually assumed a shape." - Ovid's Metamorphoses
