carpe diem
  41

Carpe diem is a Latinism which, as rightly said our colleague Francisco Valdez Mendoza in 2012, has its origin in the ODE 11 of the first book of Odes of Horatio, Latin poet of the 1st century BC, among which is also the beatus ille, a praise of retired life. Carpe diem is a recurring theme of the universal literature with many interpretative nuances: an invitation to enjoy the life that is short. In our literature is present in the Renaissance ( Garcilaso de la Vega and Fray Luis de León ) in the Baroque and romantic poets. In our day this topic has become popular by film club of the dead poets society, starring Robin Williams.
