"Stoic
philosophy reminds us to live life each and every day with meaning, values and
integrity as Socrates poignantly teaches here even as loved ones grieve the
intended hemlock. Memento Mori. We studied this painting in my first Stanford
art class and I visited it weekly for years at The Met." Lori Ogden Moore
