Bottom text inspired by poem from Constantine P. Cavafy's Remember, Body...: "Body, remember not only how much you were loved, / not only the beds on which you lay, / but also those desires which for you / plainly glowed in the eyes, / and trembled in the voice -- and some / chance obstacle made them futile. / Now that all belongs to the past, / it is almost as if you had yielded / to those desires too -- remember, / how they glowed, in the eyes looking at you; / how they trembled in the voice, for you, remember, body."
Bottom text reads: "NOW THAT ITS ALL FINALLY IN THE PAST / IT SEEMS ALMOST AS IF YOU GAVE YOURSELF TO THOSE DESIRES TOO. HOW THEY GLOWED / REMEMBER, IN EYES THAT LOOKED AT YOU / REMEMBER, BODY, HOW THEY TREMBLED FOR YOU IN THOSE VOICES."
