Song lyrics, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963), Blowin' in the Wind
“When a man dies, he has too many other worries to allow any thinking about death.”
Quando si muore si ha ben altro da fare che di pensare alla morte.

“Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan.”
" Tithonus http://home.att.net/%7ETennysonPoetry/tith.htm", st. 1 (1860)
Context: The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,
The vapours weep their burthen to the ground,
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan.
Me only cruel immortality
Consumes: I wither slowly in thine arms,
Here at the quiet limit of the world,
A white-hair'd shadow roaming like a dream
The ever-silent spaces of the East,
Far-folded mists, and gleaming halls of morn.
“It was sad. It's war. Many others died, too. It's war.”
