Death twitches my ear. “Live,” he says; “I am coming.” –Virgil, Minor Poems, Copa, l. 38; (also quoted by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. on his ninetieth birthday—closing words of a radio address, March 8, 1931)
— Virgil
Virgil, Minor Poems, Copa, l. 38.

Death constantly beckons the living, urging them to truly live now.
