pimento mori

Legend has it that when Roman Generals would triumphantly parade through the streets of the Eternal City, they would have a slave constantly whispering in their ear, "Remember, you are mortal; Memento Mori." The thought is echoed in classical antiquity, in Horace's ode to Leuconoe, "Seize the Day; Carpe Diem." I would have painted that but life is too short to paint smelly fish.. © Joe McFadden 2007 "Pimento Mori" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . pimento mori - I snatch a laugh from the internet ピメント piment bellpepper, allspice pepper Piment, Nelkenpfeffer,
