Clocks cannot tell our time of day <br />For what event to pray <br />Because we have no time, because <br />We have no time until <br />We know what time we fill, <br />Why time is other than time was. <br />Nor can our question satisfy <br />The answer in the statue's eye: <br />Only the living ask whose brow <br />May wear the Roman laurel now; <br />The dead say only how. <br /> <br />What happens to the living when we die? <br />Death is not understood by Death; nor You, nor I.<br /><br />WH Auden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-re-late-2/
