A quotation from Michelangelo
The course of my long life hath reached at last,
In fragile bark o’er a tempestuous sea,
The common harbor, where must rendered be,
Account of all the actions of the past.
[Giunto è già ’l corso della vita mia,
con tempestoso mar, per fragil barca,
al comun porto, ov’a render si varca
conto e ragion d’ogni opra trista e pia.]
Michelangelo (1475–1564) Italian artist, architect, poet [Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni]
Poem (1554-09), “Giunto è già ‘l corso della vita mia” (Rime 285), ll. 1–4 [tr. Longfellow, “Old Age” (1878)]
