Heracles: Do you really know what things are like, the way
they are?
I don’t think so.
How could you? Well then,
listen to me.
Death is an obligation which we all must pay.
There is not one man living who can truly say
If he will be alive or dead on the next day.
Fortune is dark; she moves, but we cannot see the way
Nor can we pin her down by science and study her.
There, I have told you.
Now you can understand. Go
on,
Enjoy yourself, drink, call the life you live today
Your own, but only that, the rest belongs to chance.
