	pias Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 8113	Yes, another try: "The brevity of life forbids us to entertain hopes of long duration". You know Lilian ...this is a poem by Ernest Dowson, that I found here. My knowledge of Latin is so to say "not good"

	lilian canale Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 14972	Those poets like to make things difficult for us, ordinary mortal beings!

	Najatte Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 4	Ernest Dowson! Probably the right translation... Thank you They are not long, the weeping and the laughter, Love and desire and hate I think they have no portion in us after We pass the gate They are not long the days of wine and roses: Out of a misty dream Our path emerges for a while, then closes Within a dream So I believe that "the brevity of life forbids us to entertain hopes of long duration" is quite close. For my part, being French I wrote: La vie est courte et ne permet pas de nourrir des longues espÃ©rances. Thank you for your help.

	pias Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 8113	Good if you are happy with the "result" Najatte. Yes Lilian...they (poets) know how to complicate things. So ...shall I edit to "The brevity of life forbids us to entertain hopes of long duration"?

	lilian canale Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 14972	If that is the "official" translation let's keep it.

	pirulito Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 1180	The original is from HoraceÂ´s Carmina (I, IV, 15: Vitae summa brevis spem nos vetat incohare longam. )

	Najatte Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 4	Thanks Pirulito... do you agree with the translation ?
		12 Μάϊ 2008 19:07
	pias Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 8113	Hm ...I can't understand the poem in Latin, but you are kind pirulito...always give a lot of input to the translations. Maybe Lilian or Najatte reads Latin. Lilian ...I don't know if that is the "official" translation, but I think so. At least that is how Ernest Dowson interpret that Latin "line". A third interpretation here.

	Najatte Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 4	by the way I browsed on Gutenberg.org (Horace) and found: How should a mortal's hopes be long, when short his being's date ? by John Conington, M.A. Oxford University With all due respect: the latin text was not a question.

	Najatte Αριθμός μηνυμάτων: 4	Thanks to you all... for your help. I'm quite satisfied with the result and I might read a few more lines by Horace, or at least try to.
