“Un día vas a tener a esa persona un domingo y despertarán a las 11 de la mañana y harán de comer y volverán a dormir, a querer, a amar. Un día estarás feliz, sabrás lo bonito que es la vida y entenderás que de eso se trata, de sentir, de querer, de estar".

An Epitaph for Agamemnon

Ausonius, Epitaphia heroum qui bello Troico interfuerunt I: “Agamemnoni” I – the king of kings, Atreus’ son, Avenger of my brother’s wife – I met My death myself at my own wife’s hands. What profit does it give me to have punished, In my pain, the theft of Helen – when I, who sought to make adulterers pay, Lie slain by the hand of Clytemnestra? Rex regum Atrides, fraternae coniugis ultor,     oppetii manibus coniugis ipse meae. quid prodest Helenes raptum punisse dolentem,     vindicem adulterii cum Clytemestra necet?

Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, ca. 1822
