The theme that replaced the more traditional memento mori theme in metaphysical poetry "carpe diem." Option A is correct. Carpe Diem means Seize the Day. You have to do whatever it takes just to take advantage your day. This Latin aphorism was taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes.

Carpe is the second-person singular present active imperative of carpō "pick or pluck" used by Horace to convey the message "enjoy, seize, make use of"
