Requiescat in pace...

Today on thefridayfive: "Morbid Questions We All Think About" . Actually, I never think about this kind of thing - "Be unprepared" ought to be my motto. Do other people think about it? Really?

1. If you were to die today, what would your last words be?

"What, already?"

2. What would you want your epitaph to say?

"Beautiful, brilliant, brave." Epitaphs don't have to be true.

3. What song would you want played at your funeral?

I was about to say "I don't want a funeral", but I instantly thought of a song - "If Ever I Would Leave You", sung by John Barrowman.

4. In lieu of flowers, what should loved ones do in your honor?

Hey, I want flowers! Okay, okay, if not flowers... I'd like everyone to write a story or poem or song, or draw a picture, in my honour. Not about me. About something that's important to them.

5. What unfinished business would you wrap up?

The writing of a novel or two. But if I only have a day... I suppose I'd like to look at a sunset, or see the ocean.

1. "Oh, fuck."
2. "Had a brilliant future behind her."
3. Pos de chantar, by Guilhem IX of Poitou. He wrote it when he feared he was to be exiled, after one of his excommunications. "So I lay aside joy and delight,/And squirrel and grey and sable furs".
4. Party.
5. I'd like time to finish my book…

"Oh, fuck."

Yeah.

Pos de chantar, by Guilhem IX of Poitou

I'd like time to finish my book…

Definitely.

I admit I'd love to hear the Pos de chantar (recited or sung). Any idea where I could find or download such an item?
