"They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for awhile, then closes
Within a dream".
El poema se llama "Vitae Summa Brevis Spem Nos Vetat Incohare Longam", es de Ernest Dowson (1867 -1900), y lo recita Lee Remick en una escena de "Days of Wine and Roses" (Blake Edwards, 1962, Oscar a la mejor canción del año para Henry Mancini).
