What is permanence?

Nothing in the world is permanent, 
and we're foolish when we ask anything to last,
but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.
If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it
only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.


W. Somerset Maugham
The Razor's Edge, 1943
