The Umberto Eco poem
Identifier
004570
Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
This was written before either of them had their heart attacks and survived, it is thus an eerie kind of poem in the circumstances - part prophecy part tempting fate!
A description of the experience
Quote from Umberto Eco “Sex causes death!! Sex results in procreation, and the more people that are born, the more people die!!”
So Death came to me and said
“Make love with him for I would have more victims”
And lo, we made love
You and I
Many times
But we made no victims
And so we two
We cheated death
Us two
Cheated Death
