Ephemeral Mugs
Description: Memento mori: Skull and soul as something like a butterfly with aheel of fortune.The butterfly as image of the soul is in stark contrast to death’s head. Both sit above the wheel of fortune. The wheel of fortune “can make the rich (symbolized by the purple cloth on the left) poor and the poor (symbolized by the goatskin at right) rich.” Contemplating the ephemeral of life as represented in the image, we realize that both states are very precarious, with death never far and life hanging by a thread: when it breaks, the soul (symbolized by the butterfly) flies off.

All these revolutions show a continual tendency to destruction; a swift succession of beings who follow one another, press forward, and vanish; a fleeting symmetry; the order of a moment. I reproached you just now with estimating the perfection of things by your own capacity; and I might accuse you here of measuring its duration by the length of your own days.
