Chapter 20, The Final Chapter: On the Shortness of Life, by Seneca the Younger
Today, we read chapter 20, the final chapter, of On the Shortness of Life, by Seneca the Younger.
“Some men even prepare for whatever lies after death – a necropolis of tombs, countless public dedications, blazing funeral pyres that can be seen from the stars and ostentatious funerals worthy of demi-gods. But in the end, their funerals were just like their lives – over in a short burst of flames.”
