It is not because there are ages that have been “surpassed” that no restoration is possible, but because everything is mortal.
The son does not succeed a father who has been surpassed, but a father who has died.

  1. The original Spanish is:

    No es porque existan épocas “superadas” por lo que ninguna restauración es posible, sino porque todo es mortal.
    El hijo no sucede a un padre superado, sino a un padre muerto.
