Πάντων μὲν μὴ φῦναι ἐπιχθονίοισιν ἄριστον
ReplyDeleteμηδ᾽ ἐσιδεῖν αὐγὰς ὀξέος ἠελίου,
φύντα δ᾽ ὅπως ὤκιστα πύλας Ἀΐδαο περῆσαι
καὶ κεῖσθαι πολλὴν γῆν ἐπαμησάμενον.
Best of all for mortal beings is never to have been born at all
Nor ever to have set eyes on the bright light of the sun
But, since he is born, a man should make utmost haste through the gates of Death
And then repose, the earth piled into a mound round himself.
Theognis, 6th Century B.C., Greek Elegiac Poetry, Loeb Classical Library (1999), page 234
I'm doing the best I can.

ReplyDeleteOh I don't have to do anything.
ReplyDeleteAny number of items will do the job on their own.
I'm just along for the ride, and the ice cream.
