Senex et Mors

Senex et mors

W. Aractingy 81 x 100 cm, Mars 1993

Senex quīdam ligna in silvā cecīderat,
et fasce in humerōs sublātō, domum redīre coepit.

Cum fatīgātus esset et onere et itinere, dēposuit ligna,
et senectūtis et inopiae miseriās sēcum reputans,
clārā vōce invocāvit Mortem, ut sē omnibus malīs līberāret.

Mox adest Mors et interrogat, quid vellet.

Tum senex perterritus:
"Prō! Hunc lignōrum fascem, quaesō, humerīs meīs impōnās."
