All flesh is grass is a much-quoted phrase from the Old Testament, Isaiah 40:6 ((ヘブライ語:כָּל־הַבָּשָׂ֣ר חָצִ֔יר) ''kol basar chatsir''). In the New Testament the phrase reoccurs in the First Epistle of Peter (see ; (ギリシア語:πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς χόρτος), ''pasa sarx hōs chortos''). In both cases the phrase is interpreted to mean that human life is transitory. It has been used in various works, including: * "All Flesh is Grass", a poem by English poet Christina Rossetti * "War Photographer" by the Scottish poet Carol Ann Duffy, where it describes the sights seen in war photographs * "The Omnivore's Dilemma", a nonfiction book by Michael Pollan * it is repeated in a line of the poem "Difficulties of a Statesman" by T. S. Eliot * a novel by American science fiction writer Clifford D. Simak * a book on agriculture by American author Gene Logsdon * an album by Norwegian dark metal band Madder Mortem * it was inscribed on the pope's chest in the painting ''King Edward VI and the Pope'' * it was inscribed on the pope's chest in the painting ''Deathbed of Henry VIII'' * cited by Thomas Dekker in ''The Shoemakers' Holiday'' ( 1599 ) * it was used as text for "Denn alles Fleisch es ist wie Gras", the second movement of the German Requiem by Johannes Brahms * it was used in the first stanza of Kipling's poem entitled "Arithmetic on the Frontier" * it was used in the third stanza of the ninth poem in "Ten Songs" by W. H. Auden to reinforce the idea of "Tempus Fugit" used earlier in the stanza. * it was used in ''The Handmaid's Tale'' by Margaret Atwood, "All flesh is weak. All flesh is grass, I corrected her in my head," (45). * in the Michael Cimino film, ''Heaven's Gate'' (1980), John Hurt's character Billy Irvine mutters it to himself as, appalled, he drunkenly watches a battle unfold around him and is then killed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All flesh is grass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
