They disappear.

00:13
In this particular case,
4
13784
1433
00:15
we are talking about well-known people.
5
15217
2617
00:17
Famous people, or even organisations or companies.
6
17834

00:23
They seem to vanish without trace.
7
23051
4833
00:27
They seem to disappear into thin air.
8

00:32
However, it is not all bad because sometimes
9
32284
3967
00:36
those things can suddenly reappear.
10
36335
3917
00:40
They might suddenly come back into the public domain.
11
40335

00:45
They might suddenly reappear.

45302
3250
00:48
A famous person who fades away from their fame
13
48635
5251
00:53
and fortune might suddenly relaunch their career.
14
53886
5683
00:59
They suddenly come back.
15

Perhaps a company that has gone bust,
16
61769
4150
01:06
it has collapsed.
17
66003
1417
01:07
Maybe it suddenly returns.
18
67420
3000
01:10
It relaunches.
19
70420
2850
01:13
We can
20
73270

01:13
sometimes say that a thing returns from the dead.
21
73620
5000
01:18
It comes back from the dead.
22
78703
2401
01:21
Or maybe it rises from the ashes.
23
81104
4583
01:25
Like the mythical Phoenix.
24
85754
3000
01:28
We can say that that particular thing
25
88754
2750
01:31
has arisen from the ashes.
26
91504
3517
01:35
It has made a comeback.
27
95054

01:38
It has returned.

01:40
We often say that what goes around comes around.
29
100238
3783
01:44
Sometimes a thing disappears.
30
104171
3184
01:47
But you often find that thing
31
107438
3584
01:51
reappears at a certain time in the future.
32
111105
3617
01:54
It comes back.
33
114972
1083
01:56
It reappears.
34
116055
1500
01:57
It's rises from the grave.
35
117555
3001
02:00
It has re-energised itself.
36
