Description

“This, Too, Shall Pass” serves as a gentle reminder to make the most of the present moment while time courses through the joys and pains of life. 


 

English Text:

This, too, shall pass.
Time will go on.
As time goes on
Life will prevail.

When the halls are empty
and the canvas is bare;
When the clay is unformed
and no one is there;
This, too, shall pass.
Time will go on.

We will strive
When plague is upon us
and death is in the air.
We will strive
When joy is more difficult
than sadness and despair…
