      TRANSLATED BY SHAUN WHITESIDE

       Epigraph

      Ego dixi: In dimidio dierum

      meorum vadam ad portas inferi.

      

      I said: In the midst of my days I

      shall go to the gates of hell.

      

      Isaiah 38:10

      

      You come from nothing, you’re

      going back to nothing. What’ve

      you lost? Nothing!

      the Bright Side of Life’
