This book is about 150 years old; I found it at an antiquarian bookseller. The Latin title of the song means 'About Brevity of Life'.

I like everything about this image. Great DOF and color here. The spots on the pages and the old style glasses really bring out the age of the book. I also like your placement of the glasses framing the words. Very well done -

Absolutely agree Mac.
My life is full of books and more I read more I feel ignorant.

Use your imagination when photographing, that's when you know your subject is in focus.

Universal message - a sort of a message I would send out into space to locate any other human-like creatures.
