Books and Literature

An epitaph is a statement, sometimes a poem, for a deceased person. It is sometimes written by the person to be used on his/her gravestone, and sometimes put on gravestones by others in the voice of the deceased. My Grave this is the last of her

there'll never be a cure

now she will be eaten by worms and bugs

she loved laughter and hugs

she really loved music

but she will always be basic

now her family will cry

while their faces turn dry

she always loved snow

like she always wear bows

she never loved the cold

but she always liked gold

but don't stand and weep

for it will make her true self deep

she will always be in your mind

because she will be easy to find

then you put r.i.p and put your name

what you can do is try to be creative and make your poems into shapes like a cross i usually did that but i didnt have time to make the cross

W. C. Fields, the great comedian and actor, is said to have placed the following, or something close to it, on his tombstone. It is an apocryphal story; this brilliant epitaph (he made countless jokes involving Philadelphia during his career) does not appear on his stone.

On the whole,

Radius

refers to a daughter's relationship with her father

We had dinner out in that broad open passage...and there was things enough on that table for seven families--and all hot, too; none of your flabby, tough meat that's laid in a cupboard in a damp cellar all night and tastes like a hunk of old cold cannibal in the morning.

That I had a fever and was avoided...that the time seemed interminable, that I confounded impossible existences with my own identity; that I was a brick in the house wall, and yet entreating to be released from the giddy place where the builders had set me;...
