Gorgeous old memento mori image on black tote bag. The Latin phrase is: Vive Memor Leti Fugit Hora A beautiful, somewhat morbid, reminder to live fully. The phrase is part of a quote from Persius' Satires: Nostrum est quod vivis, cinis et manes et fabula fies. vive memor leti, fugit hora. As translated: Our life is our own to-day, to-morrow you will be dust, a shade, and a tale that is told. Live mindful of death; the hour flies.
