Renaissance Period for One

I
want
to learn
everything
about everything,
right up until the hard deadline.
I want to be old and frail, lying on my deathbed,
still conjugating Latin verbs, learning how to play a new instrument, and fencing;
I'll show the nurses numerous card tricks before the
curtain shuts on reality;
the point's to make all
the moments
matter,
mais
non?
