11 May 02 - 08:20 PM (#709179) Subject: On your headstone ? (Part 2) From: McGrath of Harlow The thread "BS: What would you want on your headstone?" was getting a bit long, and it looks like it's still got some life in it.
And here's a non-joke one one to be going on with:
"The flowers of heaven and earth are the same flowers." (Joseph Mary Plunkett 1887-1916.)

13 May 02 - 09:41 AM (#710169) Subject: RE: BS: On your headstone ? (Part 2) From: RoyH (Burl) Two epitaphs that I like. The first is sheer hearsay, I have no proof that it is correct butI was told that Perchy French when challenged to provide his own epitaph came up with, 'Remember me is all I ask, but yet If memory becomes a task, Forget. The other is from a favourite book, Steinbeck's 'Travels With Charley In Search of America'. It is the epitaph of Robert John Creswell, died 1845 aged twenty six. "Alas that one whose darnthly joy had often to trust in heaven should canty thus sudden to from all it's hopes benivens and though thy love for off remore that dealt the dog pest thou left to prove thy sufferings while below". Steinbeck's response to the man who recited it for him was "It's wonderful....Lewis Carroll could have written it. I almost know what it means". |
