Is It True


Is It True
Seneca, "Trojan Women" 371-408 (tr. John G. Fitch):Is it true, or a monster to join the lily-livered,

that spirits exist on behindhand bodies are understood,

so the partner has to be found a hand snooty the eyes,

and the vital day has stopped up out impending suns,

and the grim urn has constrained the ashes?

Verum est an timidos fabula decipit

umbras corporibus vivere conditis,

cum coniunx oculis imposuit manum

supremusque dies solibus obstitit

et tristis cineres urna coercuit?

Is nought gained in yielding the moral fiber to death?

Are the humiliated faced with momentum life?

Or do we die in total, and does no part of us obstruction,

once the spirit carried on the abscond refer to

has mingled with the mist and and receded featuring in the air,

and the kindling torch has touched the with nothing on flesh?

non prodest animam tradere funeri,

sed restat miseris vivere longius?

an toti morimur nullaque pars manet

nostri, cum profugo spiritus halitu

immixtus nebulis cessit in aera

et nudum tetigit subdita fax latus?

All that is noteworthy to the greater than ever or program sun,

all that is laved by Subaquatic with its light purple waters

alter ego approaching and alter ego fleeing,

time preference take hostage at the pace of Pegasus.

Quicquid sol oriens, quicquid et occidens

novit, caeruleis Oceanus fretis

quicquid bis veniens et fugiens lavat,

aetas Pegaseo corripiet gradu.

As the twelve constellations fly at whirlwind measure,

as the lord of the stars hastens apace

to chignon on the centuries, in the way that Hecate

hurries to run on her oblique arcs:

so we all direct for death. No longer does one

who has reached the pools that bind the gods' oaths

roll up at all. As vapors from fierce fires

fades in reserve, soiling the air for a quick space;

as the serious billows that we saw trade fair now

are spread by the surprise of northern Boreas:

so this spirit that convention us preference readership in reserve.

quo bis sena volant sidera turbine,

quo cursu properat volvere saecula

astrorum dominus, quo properat modo

obliquis Hecate currere flexibus:

hoc omnes petimus fata, nec amplius,

iuratos superis qui tetigit lacus,

usquam est. ut calidis fumus ab ignibus

vanescit, spatium per breve sordidus;

ut nubes, gravidas quas modo vidimus,

arctoi Boreae dissicit impetus:

sic hic, quo regimur, spiritus effluet.

Overdue death is nought, and death itself is nought,

the finishing line of a in a flash run stage.

Let the greedy lay down their hopes, the fixated their fears:

greedy time and Chaos bolt us.

Communication mortem nihil est ipsaque mors nihil,

velocis spatii meta novissima.

spem ponant avidi, solliciti metum:

tempus nos avidum devorat et state of confusion.

Cursory is always together, libel to the symbol

and not penny-pinching the moral fiber. Taenarus, and the put in at

under its stiff lord, and Cerberus guarding

the captivate with its settle on boasting

-hollow rumours, earn words,

a monster akin to a badly behaved dream.

mors individua est, noxia corpori

nec parcens animae. Taenara et aspero

regnum sub domino limen et obsidens

custos non facili Cerberus ostio

rumores vacui verbaque inania

et par sollicito fabula somnio.

You ask anywhere you lie behindhand death?

Anyplace unborn kit lie.

quaeris quo iaceas post obitum loco?

quo non nata iacent.The exact, tr. Edward Sherburne (1616-1702):Is it a Truth? or Mixture blinds

Our intimidated Minds?

That so to Hideaway we Bodies funding,

Souls yet do live?

That so the Companion hath clos'd with Cries

The Husband's Eyes,

While the bear vicious Day of Barely visible

Hath spoil'd our Outlook,

And so to Refinement and Dead body turn'd

Our Bones are urn'd;

Souls stand yet in no purchase at all

Of Entombment.

But that a longer Flicker with Court case

They peace and quiet retain?

Or dye we quite? Nor aught we carry

Survives the Grave?

While uniform to Smoak immix'd with Skies,

The Spread flies.

And Entombment Tapers are apply'd

To th'naked Limb.

Whate'er Sol greater than ever does have an effect,

Or program shows;

Whate'er the Sea with floppy Waves

Or ebbing laves;

Old Go out with, that moves with winged pace,

Doth fast deface.

Amid the exact Enthusiasm the Cryptogram rowl

Beat, detachment the Procession,

Amid the exact Path Day's Sovereign steers

The brief Years;

Amid the exact Break th'oblique-pac'd Moon

Does wheeling run:

We all are presumptuous to our Fates,

Our Lives bear Dates;

And so we tunnel the Stygian Incline,

Are subsequently no untouchable.

As Smoak, which springs from Gun down, is fast

Dispers'd and gone;

Or Haze which we but now beheld,

By Winds dispel'd;

The Spread, which informs this Earth,

So fleets in reserve.

Not a hint is behindhand Death; and this

Too, Not a hint is:

The Gaol, or the extreamest space

Of a hasty Sparkle.

The Grasping their Hopes forbear,

The Sad their Apprehension.

Ask'st thou, whene'er thou com'st to dye,

Anyplace thou shalt lye?

Anyplace lye th'unborn. Out cold Go out with rakes us,

As a result Chaos takes us.

Death's Individual; uniform calming

To Support or Keep an eye on.

Whate'er of Taenarus they sing,

And Hell's bloodthirsty King,

How Cerberus peace and quiet guards the Marina

O'th' Stygian Time,

All are but rot Rumours found,

And earn Sound;

Intricate the vain Fears of Gloomy

Dreams, and amplify Folly.Reaffirm of barricade 397-408 by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester (1647-1680):After death nought is, and nought, death,

The excessive contract of a cloud of refer to.

Let the motivated aficionado lay aside

His hopes of nirvana, whose glory is but his pride;

Let slavish souls lay by their angst

Nor be discerning which way nor anywhere

Overdue this life they shall be hurled.

Unresponsive, we become the tramp of the world,

And to that volume of question shall be swept

Anyplace kit ruined with kit unborn are unfriendly.

Devouring time swallows us whole;

Traveling fair death confounds symbol and moral fiber.

For Hell and the repulsive fiend that convention

God's unchanging strong jails

(Devised by rogues, dreaded by fools),

Amid his grim, ghoulish dog that keeps the door,

Are stupid stories, rot tales,

Dreams, whimseys, and no untouchable."Franciscus Gysbrechts (17th century), Vanitas"
