THE NUN.
Est via quĉ videtur homini iusta: nouissima autem eius deducunt hominem ad mortem.
Prover. iiii.
Telle uoye aux humains est bonne,
Et a l'homme tresiuste semble.
Mais la fin d'elle a l'homme donne,
La Mort, qui tous pecheurs assemble.
The young Nun kneels at the altar, but turns to her lover who plays upon a lute. Death meantime, as a hideous old hag, extinguishes the altar candles.
Death. An instantaneous state, without past or future. Indispensable for entering eternity. -- Simone Well
