    لا يوجد علاج للولادة والموت باستثناء الاستمتاع بالفاصل الزمني. الخلفية المظلمة التي لوازم الموت تبرز ألوان الحياة الرقيقة بكل نقاوةها.

    δεν υπάρχει θεραπεία για τη γέννηση και τον θάνατο παρά μόνο να απολαύσεις το διάστημα. το σκοτεινό φόντο που παρέχει ο θάνατος αναδεικνύει τα τρυφερά χρώματα της ζωής σε όλη τους την αγνότητα.

    il n'y a de remède à la naissance et à la mort que pour profiter de l'intervalle. le fond sombre que fournit la mort fait ressortir les tendres couleurs de la vie dans toute leur pureté.
