Pindar

“ἐπάμεροι· τί δέ τις; τί δ᾿ οὔ τις; σκιᾶς ὄναρ
ἄνθρωπος. ἀλλ᾿ ὅταν αἴγλα διόσδοτος ἔλθῃ,
λαμπρὸν φέγγος ἔπεστιν ἀνδρῶν καὶ μείλιχος αἰών.

Ephemeral thing, what is it? what is not it? A A dream of a shadow is man. But when a god given radiance should come, there is a brilliant light over man, and our life is joyful.”

Pindar, Olympian Odes. Pythian Odes
