From the Abbey

How many to be judges
so few and a debt
for each to pay
in tomorrow's currency:
stock and bone
flesh made stone
which earthly
remains remain
as the dead knowing
it's better to be
alive.

DVM SPIRITUS HOS REGET ARTVS
So long as breath controls my being.
-Giovani Batista Moroni (portrait of a man)
