Epitaphs

=Epitaphs for Ancient Greek Burials=


 * Tombs that have been there for a long time:**


 * I am a shipwrecked sailor's tomb; a peasant's there Both stand: Thus the same world of Hades lies beneath both sea and land. (this was ascribed to Plato)
 * Timon, the misanthrope, am I below. Go, and revile me, traveler, only go.
 * Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, o death! ([|Virginia Woolf)]
 * While you live, shine Don't suffer anything at all; Life exists only a short while And time demands its toll. (musicans epitaph and here is the ancient Greek iconography for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Seikilos.svg )


 * Epitaphs for freshly dug graves:**


 * Demeter, here lies tiny son Adeipho, a sacrifice you forced by the Winter you rained down upon us.
 * Blow, blow thou winter wind, thou art not so unkind as Zeus's ingratitude! Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky. Cursed be the Gods who shined on me not. (adapted from a shakespeare quote)
 * The tempest’s howl, it soothes my soul, My griefs it seems to join; The leafless trees my fancy please, Their fate resembles mine! (from a poem by Robert Burns)
 * As the flowers are all made sweeter by the sunshine and the dew, so this old world is made brighter by the lives of friends like you.

and a few to have some of the visual friezes embedded if possible.
