"Tell me if anything ever was finished" - Verrochio
"In dei nomine" - a symbol of inevitability
Leonardo lived with an acceptance of mortality that could be described as follows. "Man is mortal and many of his conceptions may not be brought to fruition within a single lifetime."
(Raymond S. Stites, 1970)
I don't know much about Da Vinci.. but.. the guy had a interesting way of recording his thoughts and ideas.. well beyond his time.. I wonder how these people of that time would have reacted to modern technology.
