How long does a man live?

    "How long does a man live, after all?

    Does he live a thousand days, or one only?

    A week, or several centuries?

    How long does a man spend dying?

    What does it mean to say 'for ever'?"

    "Cuánto vive el hombre, por fin?

    Vive mil días o uno solo?

    Una semana o varios siglos?

    Por cuánto tiempo muere el hombre?

    Qué quiere decir 'Para Siempre'?"

    ~ Pablo Neruda, 1904-1973 ~
    From "And How Long?"

      this is really poetry though = the way you have cropped it!
      the figures on the bottom too are really important

      This was my first day in The Netherlands when we came last time - the sunset was spectacular and I took lots of shots - sadly, most of them were from behind a scratched and weather-beaten perspex screen. thank you for looking, MaryLou :)
