Vivere vix quid sit novi:...

Vivere vix quid sit novi: mirum nil ergo, Si quid sit nasci || nescio, quidve mori. English: "I've scarcely learned what it is to live: no wonder then, if I don't know what it is to be born, or what it is to die." They are, of course, the two great mysteries, the bookends of life, being born and dying - with appropriately mysterious deponent verbs for both of them in Latin, nasci and mori.
