The ominous prophesy reminds us of the "All the world's a stage" speech in which we end "Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
Dive, what's with this profile message and spooky mask?
An ominous prophecy you'd like to share?
This is very clearly the angst of an existential crisis.
Then again, maybe this is all hokum. There's the rub.

"Not long for this world"The world in which divegeester and I currently live is one where England are still in the World Cup and have not yet been knocked out by Colombia. That could well happen on 3rd July. That's "not long" from now. In the meantime, we inhabit this world where we can sing "It's coming home" without it being technically untrue to do so.

What does anyone know of an individual who died 10 years ago? Perhaps memories of people who knew them. Perhaps a name in a family genealogy but for all practical purposes the person is forgotten.
Much like the guy in who is that scratching at my grave. I think that is the name of that Wordsworth piece
