"Life where it springs is a pure, sweet delight that is in life itself. To not go away from the source is to be a virgin. The Etruscans carved flowers on their women's tombstones, no name, no other, no age, no rank. What does the tombstone say? The one who lies here was a flower, able to live what the wise could only imagine.

Life where it springs is a pure, sweet delight that is in life itself. To not go away from the source is to be a virgin. The Etruscans carved flowers on their women's tombstones, no name, no other, no age, no rank. What does the tombstone say?

""Az élet ott, ahol fakad, tiszta, édes gyönyör, amely magában az életben van. Nem elmenni a forrástól annyi, mint szűziesnek lenni. Az etruszkok asszonyaik sírkövére virágot faragtak, se nevet, se mást, se kort, se rangot. Mit mond a sírkő? Aki itt fekszik, virág volt, élni tudta azt, amit a bölcsek csak gondolni."
