“My temples are white, my head largely bald. Graceful youth has departed from my face, and my teeth are the loose teeth of an old man. I have few years left of sweet life. Therefore I tremble and fear the underworld, for the lightless chasm of death is dreadful and the descent appalling: once cast down into Hell there is no return.” — Anakreon
My temples are white, my head largely bald.
Graceful youth has departed from my face,
and my teeth are the loose teeth of an old man.
I have few years left of sweet life.
Therefore I tremble and fear the underworld,
for the lightless chasm of death is dreadful
and the descent appalling: once cast down
into Hell there is no return.
