Carved from wood, this 16th-century figure shows a corpse inside a coffin. The body is decaying and worms are spilling from the stomach. The coffin is a memento mori, an object that reminds the viewer of the shortness of human life & the inevitability of death.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,Her hardest hue to hold.Her early leaf’s a flower;But only so an hour.Then leaf subsides to leaf.So Eden sank to grief,So dawn goes down to day.Nothing gold can stay.— Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay

From Little Sleeps Head Sprouting Hair In The Moonlight by Galway Kinnell
learn,
as you stand
at this end of the bridge which arcs,
from love, you think, into enduring love,
learn to reach deeper
into the sorrows
to come – to touch
the almost imaginary bones
under the face, to hear under the laughter
the wind crying across the black stones.
Then
kiss the mouth
which tells you,
here, here is the world.
This mouth.
This laughter.
These temple bones.
This still undanced cadence of vanishing.

Soundtrack Memories
In the last few days, a trio of musicians have passed away. They say these things happen in threes, and there you go. Jimmy Buffett, Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth and Gary Wright all passed away within a couple of days of each other. Each is a part of our soundtrack in their own way

I see some people put down the global CO₂ levels in the year they were born as their birthdate in their bios and I think it’s grim and sobering.
If You Knew
What if you knew you'd be the last
to touch someone?
If you were taking tickets, for example,
at the theater, tearing them,
giving back the ragged stubs,
you might take care to touch that palm,
brush your fingertips
along the life line's crease.
When a man pulls his wheeled suitcase
too slowly through the airport, when
the car in front of me doesn't signal,
when the clerk at the pharmacy
won't say Thank you, I don't remember
they're going to die.
A friend told me she'd been with her aunt.
They'd just had lunch and the waiter,
a young gay man with plum black eyes,
joked as he served the coffee, kissed
her aunt's powdered cheek when they left.
Then they walked half a block and her aunt
dropped dead on the sidewalk.
How close does the dragon's spume
have to come? How wide does the crack
in heaven have to split?
What would people look like
if we could see them as they are,
soaked in honey, stung and swollen,
reckless, pinned against time?

En 1850, Carl Weber se realizó esta fotografía con su esposa Emily Stratford. En ese momento ya llevaba 4 horas muerta, pero la ausencia de fotografías previas motivó esta decisión. Unas cuerdas mantienen su posición y unas varillas mantienen abiertos sus ojos. #death #muerte #mementomori #fotografia #photography

And also last year for #Shfl was an overall guide to #DepecheMode as it stood then, thought now slightly updated thanks to #MementoMori -- it was also a chance to celebrate more of the solo work and collaborations, including those by #AlanWilder #music https://theshfl.com/guide/depeche-mode
I know I’m very biased- it takes enormous restraint for me not to bang on about my bias because I’m aware that people are much less interested in my takes on music and movies than they are wanking on about my sex life- BUT if there’s a single other band who have been going for 40 fucking years and have released an album that bangs as hard as the back half of #MementoMori, I want to know who they are. I genuinely want to know!
To All That Is Great in Us
“Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him—that is the best account of it that has been yet given. Squalor and tragedy can beckon to all that is great in us; and strengthen the wings of love.” ― E.M. Forster, Howards End
We are, each of us, on borrowed time. There's no denying that, even as we prefer to focus on other thi

The week of random shou minis is drawing to a close with 2020 "prosbloom" from White2Tea. Tip for gong fu brewing tightly compressed minis: rinse them a couple times in the pot (or gaiwan) with water at the appropriate temp, put the lid on the pot, and let them steam closed for 5-10 minutes. Then come back and restart your brewing.

Now Happening
“It’s the very last thing, isn’t it, we feel grateful for: having happened. You know, you needn’t have happened. You needn’t have happened. But you did happen.” — Douglas Harding
My brother was told he had six months left to live. This was naturally shocking to him, less so for some of us who have watched his decline. Early on I used to speak in stoic terms about memento mori and

I don’t collect many souvenirs. That things I do have (and hold on to) are small tokens people have given me, and a few small things I’ve chosen. Sometimes I buy postcards when I visit places… and then I tape those into my journals. But in a very real sense a lot of what I write in my journals is meant to be a souvenir. The physical and the notational are all just meant to trigger some memory.
Even institutions built for the express purpose of information preservation have succumbed to the ravages of time, natural disaster or human conquest. The famous library of Alexandria, one of the most important repositories of knowledge in the ancient world, eventually faded into obscurity. Built in the fourth century B.C., the library flourished for some six centuries, an unparalleled center of intellectual pursuit. Alexandria’s archive was said to contain half a million papyrus scrolls — the largest collection of manuscripts in the ancient world — including works by Plato, Aristotle, Homer and Herodotus. By the fifth century A.D., however, the majority of its collections had been stolen or destroyed, and the library fell into disrepair.
~ Adrienne Bernhard from, https://longnow.org/ideas/shining-a-light-on-the-digital-dark-age/
Always I’m thinking: Do I really want to add this thing to my pile? There’s a timeframe of only a few decades where any thing, or notation, has the chance to jog my memory. Sometimes I think of taking a photo… and then I think, why? Why this image right here? Maybe it would be better (I continue thinking) to just relax and enjoy the moment. Even the Library at Alexandria’s enormous collection was surely only a minuscule fraction of what humanity had created to that point. Why take a photo? Why make a notation? Why build a web site? :)

Tickets bagged for #DepecheMode in Birmingham next Jan
It's been 30yrs since I last saw them on the Devotional tour when I was just a youngster who'd just got his first car and it was his first long distance trip (also to Birmingham) and the drive back was in a bit of a snow storm.
So... about that Fuck Yeah... shout it... Shout it LOUD!!!
Also, 2 tickets £340 😬
3) Setlist: Zum einen wurde erstaunlich viel gewechselt zum Freitags-Konzert - vier Songs. „Waiting for the Night" hätte ich lieber gehört als Condemnation, bei den anderen drei war unseres wohl besser. Diesen Dienst hier habe ich die Tage erst entdeckt, sehr hilfreich für passierte Konzertgänger:innen:

Another of my mini memento mori's - the winged hourglass representing the swift passing of ones time and the ouroboros suggesting eternal life in the beyond (if there is such a thing).

There’s a #BahasaIndonesia phrase that I love: “bau tanah”, which literally means “(someone) smells of earth (i.e. the soil)”, which basically means someone is very old.
The older you get, the more you smell like the earth. It’s so hilarious and grim and #mementoMori all at the same time. I use it all the time with my family when I talk about how old I’m getting!
Comunque volevo ricordarvi che gli anni '90 sono stati 30 anni fa.
Eigentlich wollte ich gar nicht so viele Fotos (und Videos) machen, aber dann kam doch der Drang dieses tolle Konzert zu dokumentieren. Es war die perfekte Mischung aus alten Gassenhauern & neuen Hits vom wirklich guten aktuellen Album #MementoMori, dazu die emotionale Würdigung von Andrew #Fletcher. Für mich das beste #DepecheMode Konzert, seit sie und ich dies zur Tradition gemacht haben... 🥰

This elaborate alarm clock from the 19th century prompted people to think about the shortness of life. When the alarm bell chimed, a small card running up the skeleton’s spinal column retracted to make the jaw open and the eyes roll. It's now at the Science Museum, London.

Here are male and female memento mori figurines used for spiritual contemplation from the 19th century. They were meant to remind the owner of the transience of life and material luxury. They are now part of the Wellcome Collection in London.

This 17th-century watch is a "memento mori," a reminder of the shortness of life. The inscription roughly translates: "Thus passes wordly glory remember your end." It was sold by Christies in 2017 for £12.5K.

A wreathed skull stares out from this silver medal for Josias Krijger who died 9 September 1675. Krijger was a lieutenant under Rear Admiral Jan Van Brakel. Behind the skull a pair of scythes and also two putti (one extinguishes a torch and the other blows bubbles - a reminder of the fragility of life). A winged hourglass perches above the skull representing the passage of time (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam) #MementoMori #Netherlands #17thcentury #history #histodons #mourning
A gold mourning ring from France. The very detailed skull-shaped bezel hinges opens to reveal a tiny message which translates as ‘'I fear death only in your heart'. This ring from the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto is very similar to an example from British Museum. 17th cent #mementomori #skull #ring #17thcentury #history #histodons #weirdhistory
A skeleton wraps around the hoop of this gold mourning ring. A crown floats proudly above its head and a series of other symbols appear on the hoop - a pick & shovel, a winged hourglass and crossed bones. 1714 (British Museum) #MementoMori #skeleton #history #18thcentury #jewelleryshop
This plate is decorated with the memento mori message 'You and I are Earth' and dated 1661. The message reminds the owner of their inevitable fate - much as the plate came from earth so will they go to the earth when they die. (One of my favourite items at Museum of London) #MementoMori #London #Ceramics #history #histodons #17thcentury
A gold mourning ring with an octagonal bezel. Underneath the rock crystal/glass is a tiny skull and crossbones on a background of hair. The ring is inscribed for M.S. who died 2 Jan 1718 (British Museum) #MementoMoriMonday #MementoMori #18thCentury #history #histodons
Twelve Days of Mortality History Christmas - Day Nine🎄💀: This gold mourning ring features an enamelled skull and cross bones on a background of woven hair. The shoulders of the ring are also decorated with a skull and cross bones.

It is New Year's Eve and as eyes are on clocks, here is another excellent example of skull-shaped watch case. The case carries a typically memento mori message “Oh, remember how short my time is”. Case c. 1810–20, movement by Isaac Penard c. 1650 (Met Museum) #MementoMori #NYE #NYE2022 #NewYearsEve #history #histodons
Who's ready for #NYE2022? This elaborate Victorian alarm clock prompted people to think about the shortness of life. When the alarm bell chimed, a small card running up the skeleton’s spinal column retracted to make the jaw open and the eyes roll.

A swift #introduction for anyone who is new here - I’m Dr Dan O’Brien, historian of undertakers, funerals and death in eighteenth century England. I can often be found talking about early undertakers or researching their ephemera. I also enjoy sharing mourning jewellery, cemetery trips and other death-related items from history such as this striking rosary bead. Hopefully you will join me for more adventures in death history! #MementoMori #history #histodons #cemetery #twittermigration
