Let us eat, drink and be merry
San Nicolo dei Mendicoli. A place that I like, at the tip of the Dorsoduro, in the south of Venice. On one side of the campanile, under the large and ancient clock a slab dated from 1764 reads "Lethi Vive Memor Fugit Hora"...Live mindful of death , time is flowing.
So... Let us eat, drink and be merry!

Yes, let's! And let's do it in Venice. Took a picture of this clock last time I was there, and have to admit I didn't even try to translate the Latin. So thank you for the picture AND the translation!
Wonderful image and good advice!
Love it.
I'm in! This whole wall ~ clock, slab and patchy brickwork ~ is gorgeous.
I love this church. A wonderful photo (and thanks for the translation).
