Vocabulary is the part that never ends. The other parts are finished at some time.

I never said (i.e., forgot to say) that I wrote this post.

Nothing ever ends! And have you read a full grammar of English? You'd never finish writing it...

(it is not nothing under heaven that closes! and also, have you read a full grammar of the English? Not under heaven is it not, that writing it would close)

Life has limits. Knowledge has no limits. To use what has limits to seek what has no limits is danger.

(Original: 吾生也有涯，而知也无涯，以有涯隨无涯，殆巳。)

nisa; ne sliat libn, min uandeth, ādi wierp an frōlīc cruth
Not so; life does not end, but changes course, and comes to wear fresh forms

[Bessunire]

Hraðe ire aþys utasti gotar es.
Any man's life must come to an end.

The life of a man changes shape: he is a baby, and does not talk; now he is a man, and now he does not crawl; now he is an old man, and he does not walk, he says nothing, he does not greet his son, and he remembers nothing; and now he is soil, and he does not remember, nor talk, but he trembles with (/among/under) worms/snakes and bugs, and throws up fresh new shoots. A life is called over by men, when men no longer recognise it as a life; but living continues there where men do not look.

The fun thing is, we can write about anything we want, as long as it helps us.

No, apparently we must all write what masako wants to read.

So much for the idea of participating in this thread...

You don't like that, which he said, then argue him. It benefits your constructed language.
If you don't like what he said, then argue with him. It will be good for your conlang.

Pai he, vasra koi* ua min gotto sinnu.
Also, your poem/story* is very wise.
Also, what you said ("aithscepi bretha mainn ...") is very wise.

* Not exactly a 'poem' as we know it. But, unlike a ves or fuga, it doesn't relate events or a story, and is 'philosophical/religious' (ancirnu) in nature.
* I'm not sure what to call it in English either.
