And if that which is cold were imperishable, when the warm principle came attacking the snow, must not the snow have retired whole and unmelted—for it could never have perished, nor could it have remained and admitted the heat?
Not convinced here. The snow would melt away. It does not mean that coldness as a principle would cease to exist, but snow would still melt.
likewise, the soul would disappear when exposed to death. But it would not mean that immortality as a principle would be demolished.
