What is so powerful As to chain man’s heart to earth Chasing after fleeting things Yet as man chases His hearts desires Trying To break the mesh Stubbornly holding on To that which forms his life All he suceeds in doing Is destroying his flesh ‘Vanitus vanitatum et omnia vanitas’

Vanity of vanities
What is so powerful As to chain man’s heart to earth Chasing after fleeting things Yet as man chases His hearts desires Trying To break the mesh Stubbornly holding on To that which forms his life All he suceeds in doing Is destroying his flesh ‘Vanitus vanitatum et omnia vanitas’
Another blast from my past. :)
