ANTHOLOGIES (NON-POETRY). Epitaphs are a unique artform. In previous centuries they were regarded as an opportunity to celebrate, mourn, reflect on, philosophize, lament, or affirm the individual and the mystery of life and death, often giving rise to carefully crafted verse. In more recent times, humour has come into play: Spike Milligan's characteristically irreverent epitaph - which translates as 'I told you I was ill' - gives new life to his comedic voice beyond the grave. This book brings together over 250 epitaphs from cemeteries, churchyards, funerary monuments and historical records. The gravestones of famous people often give rise to memorable and evocative lines, such as 'curst be he that moves my bones' (Shakespeare's grave), 'Horseman, pass by!'(W.B. Yeats) or 'Called back' (Emily Dickinson). Others tell us something about the cause of death, frequently invoking a macabre sense of humour: 'Here lies John Ross / Kicked by a Hoss'. |
