Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image is from Emblem #9 of Francis Quarles' Emblems, Divine and Moral, Together with Hieroglyphicks of the Life of Man. The motto reads: Frustra quis stabilem figat in orbe gradum? Loosely translated: "It's no use - who can find footing on a sphere?" Time (the Reaper) and Fortune overturn the world (resp. the Orb and Cross) and push down the protagonist. The comforts of wine, money, and even Cupid fall away.
Deutsch: Dieses Bild stammt von Emblem Nr. 9 von Francis Quarles' Emblems, Divine and Moral, Together with Hieroglyphicks of the Life of Man. Das Epigramm lautet: Frustra quis stabilem figat in orbe gradum? Frei übersetzt: „Vergeblich, wer festen Tritt auf einer Kugel sucht?“ Die Zeit (der Sensenmann) und das Glück (Fortuna) kippen die Kugel bzw. den Reichsapfel um und stoßen den Protagonisten hinunter. Auch die Annehmlichkeiten des Weins, des Gelds und der Begierde (Cupido) fallen herab.
