“Your past is a skeleton walking one step behind you, and your future is a a skeleton walking one step in front of you. Maybe you don't wear a watch, but your skeletons do, and they always know what time it is.”

la muerte

"The Skeleton" by G.K. Chesterton

Chattering finch and water-fly
Are not merrier than I;
Here among the flowers I lie
Laughing everlastingly.

No: I may not tell the best;
Surely, friends, I might have guessed
Death was but the good King's jest,
It was hid so carefully.

I really like your choices this morning. Nice to see Alexie paired with Chesterton. The statue is pretty creepy. I don't comment every day but I've been enjoying your entries.

and it passed on chillingly, too!

btw, today on the way to work, some local dj's played this song, apparently sent to them by a young listener. I loved it!

Wow, someone had some definite ideas about death. Must have been a real treat going to visit that grave.
