Tú, que epitafios a los vivos haces, y en tu imaginación muertos los tienes; ¿qué exequias para ti, qué honras previenes? Pero si no las tienes, no las traces.
Todos yacen por ti. Tú, ¿por quién yaces?
No es bien que vivos como muertos trates,
Pues que no los heredas, no los mates: |

You, who write epitaphs for the living, and in your mind already see them dead; what rites for you, what honors do you see? But if you do not have them, don't make plans.
Here lie all for you. And you, for whom?
It isn't right to treat as dead the living,
Since you are not their heir, don't kill them off: (©Alix Ingber, 1995) |
