Aurelius - Meditations 4:34: A Virtuous Life in the Present vs. a Forgotten Legacy in the Future

With your whole will surrender yourself to Clotho to spin your fate into whatever web of things she will.
----------
Plato: The Republic, Book X
... the distaff rotates on the knees of Necessity …  and seated around, at equal interval, three, each upon a throne, daughters of Necessity, in white garments, with wreaths on their heads, Lachesis, Clotho, and Atropos, the Fates, singing to the Sirens' song; Lachesis, the past: Clotho, the present: Atropos, what is to be.
