Project title: “Our
European Literary
Routes” Mobility meeting
in Gualdo Tadino, Italy
April 4th – April 8th
Horace, a Roman lyric poet (1st
century BC), addressed his beloved
Lefkonoe to seize the day ‘Carpe
Diem’ and show as little confidence
as possible to tomorrow.
In his poem from the work of ‘Odes’
the phrase is part of a larger
sentence: ‘carpe diem, quam
minimum credula postero’. From the
well-known Thucydides phrase: ‘Time
is not waiting’, we were led to the
Latin: Carpe Diem! He prevents her
from engaging in astrology in order
to learn about the future. Tomorrow
does not belong to the people.
Carpe Diem
This philosophical view and Horace proposition about
life becomes especially relevant today, if one takes into
account how many people, trying to explore their future,
fall victim to cunning. On the other hand, how many out
of anxiety for tomorrow in order to secure their future,
lose their quality of life today. Thus, he advised her to be
patient in life and not live with the stress of time, limiting
the distant hope. Time is invidious; with its hasty
passage, it shortens more and more the joys of life.
Seizing the day means counting every day,
considering it important, unique, giving it value,
and living it with all your Being without taking it
for granted. Because life is about the journey and
not the destination. So, if from then on people
could understand the importance of this phrase,
time would not be considered wear but
happiness… because striving to be happy is a
choice.
The expression became known in 1989 from the
film ‘The Circle of the Lost Poets /The Dead Poets
Society’. https://youtu.be/-IChvvbtIXc
Since then it has appeared in
songs like ‘Metallica-Carpe Diem Baby’.
If anyone ever asks you, you can just say that
Carpe Diem means ‘Yolo’ (= You Only Live Once)
so that everyone understands from the very
beginning.
