A Latin Poem:
Vente quid levius? fulgur.
Quid fulgure? flamma
Flamma quid? mulier.
Quid mulier? nihil.
- Unattributed Author, Harleian Manuscript
Translated, it means:
What is lighter than the wind? A feather.
What is lighter than a feather? Fire.
What lighter than a fire? A woman.
What lighter than a woman? Nothing.
King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies

Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.
CarpeDiem: Seize the Day!
