Unceasingly the river flows and yet the water is never the same. Where the currents meet, bubbles of foam appear on the surface of the water - bursting to disappear, while others rise to replace them. None lasts. It is the same in this world with people and their dwellings: everything is constantly changing.

From the "Hōjōki" of Kamo no Chōmei from the year 1211.
