The Wisdom of Maximilian I

By Vickilane
The Wisdom of Maximilian IContinuing my armchair travel (see Friday's post,) I came across this marvelous haiku-like poem attributed to Maximilian I(1459-1519,)Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. I find myself wanting to paint it on a wall somewhere.

Live--don't know how long

And die--don't know when

Must go--don't know where

I am astonished I am so cheerful.
