Thought provoking inscriptions found on tombstones
In Highgate cemetery, London:
“Life’s like a Winter’s Day:
Some only Breakfast and away;
Others to Dinner stay, and are full fed;
The oldest one but Sups and goes to Bed:
Wretched is he that lingers out the day—
He that goes the soonest has the least to pay.”
In memory of Anthony Curtis:
“This world’s a City full of crooked streets,
And death the Market-place where all men meets;
If Life was Merchandise that men could buy,
The rich would live and none but poor would die.”
