echo n.3 : lete (no memory)
eccl. 1, 11; canti; fleurs

non est priorum memoria
un vieux sphinix ignoré du monde insoucieux,
a pensare come tutto al mondo passa
                                       e quasi orma non lascia

   sphinx forgotten by cold worlds
while everything fades away,
                                 quite traceless]

eccl. 4, 2-3; poems; eccl.; canti

et laudavi magis mortuos quam viventes
   they stumble all night
et feliciorem iudicavi
                        qui necdum natus est
al gener nostro il fato non donò che il morire

[and I saw the dead,
they stumble all night,
they were better off than the living,
but best of all the never born. . .though –
one choice left: to die]
