The line from "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" which does NOT express the concept of transience is the following one:

Question: Who said: <em>''Carry your well-planed oar until you come to a race of people who know nothing of the sea, whose food is never seasoned with salt, strangers all to ships with their crimson prows and long slim oars, wings that make ships fly.''? </em>
Answer: <u>Tiresias said it. According to Greek mythology, he was a blind prophet of Apollo in Thebes, Ancient Greece. </u>
Explanation:
According to Greek mythology, Tiresias was a blind prophet of Apollo (The national divinity of the Greeks, the god of music, prophecy, healing, poetry and son of Zeus and Leto.) Tiresias is famous for having psychic powers and for having once been transformed into a woman for seven years. In the text mentioned, he was talking to Odysseus, explaining his future to him.
Tiresias knows that Odysseus is looking forward to a sweet smooth journey home but Tiresias explains to Odysseus that it will not be that way. He tells him how difficult the journey will be and the suffering that awaits his men who will not live to arrive home. After telling him this, he predicts that Odysseus will arrive home although it will be in a terrible situation because once he arrives, he will have to reclaim his wife and kill her suitors. Also, he mentions that he will have to appease Poseidon and the heavens so that he can ''ebb away very gently''.
