This is just one of my favorite things
WHILE YOU HERE...

Song
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain,
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

CRISTINA ROSSETTI

Morrem novos aqueles
a quem os deuses amam.
Abençoado quem depois de ver
o espectáculo do sol, dos astros, do oceano
e do fogo, parte rapidarnente
são e salvo, com o coração tranquilo.
Longa ou breve, Parménon,
nunca a vida te dará coisas mais belas.
E como se estivesses assistindo aos jogos
ou fosses convidado para uma festa.
E quanto mais cedo partires
mais depressa podes repousar.
Menandro
Atenas (345-292)
