About this document
The Ephemeral Beauty of Life by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The poem describes the brevity of the life of flowers as an allegory for the brevity of human life. In three stanzas, the poet compares different flowers and how long they live, from the carnation that lives only two days to the sunflower, which is the flower that lives the longest. The poet concludes by inviting the flowers to learn from their own brevity and transience through the comparison with their life, since yesterday they were a wonder but today they are already a shadow.
