A Stoic Breviary: Classical Wisdom in Daily Practice

Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.

The Dance of Death 7

Adrien Dauzats, The Dance of Death (1831)

The Abbey of La Chaise-Dieu in Auvergne has a wonderful fresco of the Dance of Death, dating from c. 1470, though time has not been kind to it, which is in itself another reminder of the fleeting nature to all things.

This 19th century copy, however, does a fine job of preserving some of its original power.
