Yili's famous saying
"The generation of leaves is like this, and so is the generation of people. As for leaves, the wind scatters some leaves on the ground, but when spring comes, the forest grows new leaves; In this way, one generation rises and another generation dies. "

Excerpted from A.T. Murray (Homer, Iliad, with English translation. )

And the original Greek, but I can't read Greek?

I can send it to you if necessary.

Another translated version:

Like leaves from generation to generation, mortal life. Now, the wind scatters old leaves all over the earth. Now, new trees are sprouting, and spring is coming again. The same is true of human beings: one generation is born and another generation dies.
