अतीता वर्तमाना च सत्येवासत्यवत्सदा ।
नित्यमत्यन्ततरुणी नित्यं शोषमुपेयुषी ॥ २४ ॥

atītā vartamānā ca satyevāsatyavatsadā |
nityamatyantataruṇī nityaṃ śoṣamupeyuṣī || 24 ||

Though past and gone, yet it is present before us, and though it is all hollow within, it appears as thick and sound to sight. It is an ever fading and ever green tree, and the more it is lopped and cropt, the more it grows and expands itself.
