Why, what could she have done, being what she is? Was there another Troy for her to burn? William Butler Yeats

simple breathing two
In more simple words, we might say everything in the universe is trying to become every other thing; and every condition of everything is trying to become every other condition. A hot iron, for example, will strive to become as cool as its environment, and the cool environment will strive to become as hot as the hot iron.

Hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.
