I'll tell you a secret...

I’ll tell you a secret.... Something they don’t teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us... They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last.... Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again Like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men... Now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with the new buds and spring comes round again And so with men~ as one generation comes to life, another dies away... ~Homer Sources : Minoo Sedehi
