Of Days and Seasons (English)

Of Days and Seasons

'It's the law of fate: time carries everything away'

Jacopo Sannazaro

 

One day you're top dog in the Coliseum,

the next whole cities fall:

that's how it is, we're born, we die and memory's the only way

the pages of history can escape the fate of all.

 

translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy
