Eugene of My Modern Met pointed us to this wonderful piece of
Memento
Mori artwork, titled the Kiss of Death in Barcelona's Poblenou Cemetery:
According to the story, in 1930, the Llaudet family was mourning
the death of their son and created this sculpture for his tomb. The
epitaph bears famous verses by one of Catalan's greatest poets, Jacint
Verdaguer:
“And his young heart can not help;
in his veins the blood stops and freezes
and encouragement lost faith embraces
fall feeling the kiss of death”
