Description
In Articulo Mortis
The movement of the stars above our heads
gives false solace to our hearts: in time,
every star must fall. The fate of all things
is silence without memory or pain--
a dissolution into ruin. Our dreams
must fade beyond the night; beauty will be
forgotten along the vast expanse of dust.
And who would live forever with deep sorrow,
condemned to suffer every ache and wound?
Fate is kind to offer silence over
endless pain and fear.
Oblivion
is sweeter than ambrosia, which must taste sour
after countless centuries: even gods
must dream of nothingness and peace. Their lives
are worthless things because they have no end;
just infinities of words and deeds
that no one will remember. Countless thoughts
will be their own, for mortals will be shades,
and with them, all the firmament. Pity gods
who know no rest, though they die each night in sleep.
