A though in three stanzas
A mid XIX century Colombian poem talks about those who are alive and those who are dead during life. This poem enjoys wide appeal throughout Latin American countries, and its strong presence in popular circles has raised questions about its authorship. The poet was a philosopher, a patriot who took part in various political and cultural seminars.
Death and Life are represented in two resin engravings with pochoir backgrounds.
