"No one exists" this rings a bell, now where did this come from? Is it a poem, movie, book or is it just a philosophical phrase bantered about for centuries? I will find out, after I find the Latin translation. "Nemo futurus" is the Latin translation for "No one exists." The Latin translation for the original phrase is "And, no unus futurus unus," "And, no one exists alone," written by the poet and author Wiliam H. Auden, in his poem Septemer 1, l939. Below is the seventh verse of Auden's poem. September 1, 1939 W. H. Auden "All I have is a voice To undo the folded lie, The romantic lie in the brain Of the sensual man-in-the-street And the lie of Authority Whose buildings grope the sky; There is no such thing as the State And no one exists alone; Hunger allows no choice To the citizen or the police; We must love one another or die." Here is another poem written by William H. Auden, who do you believe he might be describing in this poem? "Epitaph On a Tyrant" Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after, And the poetry he invented was easy to understand; He knew human folly like the back of his hand, And was greatly interested in armies and fleets; When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter, And when he cried the little children died in the streets.
