Mortality

Via Maggie's Farm comes this lovely quote from W. S. Merwin's poem "The River of Bees":

On the door it says what to do to survive
But we were not born to survive
Only to live.

Pluvi has a good one too-- as melancholy but funnier.

Check out the photo in her post above that one as well. Maybe I can get Matt to lift it for Q-- beyond my techno- capabilities!


(This one, Steve? It's a stunner. Anyone know more about it?)

And muslims think that covering up the body removes temptation. Those eyes sucked me in like a vortex!
