Book excerpt: Death Is No Laughing Matter...Or Is It? It depends on who has the last laugh - and a couple of hundred years ago, the person who had the last laugh might be the person who carved your tombstone! At rest beneath this churchyard stone Lies stingy Jemmy Wyatt; He died one morning just at ten, and Saved a dinner by it Epitaphs gave friends and loved ones a chance to "go ahead, tell us what you really think..." Here lies my wife Polly, a terrible shrew; If I said I was sorry, I should lie too. Some, like this writer, feel that epitaphs are more for the living than the dead... Beneath this stone, in hopes of Zion, Doth lie the landlord of the Lion; His son keeps on the business still, Resigned unto the heavenly will. Nor was the grave a refuge from bad puns: This tombstone is a Milestone; Hah! how so? Because beneath lies Miles, who's Miles below. "Graveyard Humor" gives you the last laugh, with a collection of over 300 rare, witty, and sometimes ridiculous inscriptions. It also brings you the epitaphs of such notable figure as Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Lord Byron, Robert Burns, and Virgil! As the author notes, here you'll find "the sad, serious, witty, and sublime..." Here lies I and my three daughters Kill'd by drinking Cheltenham waters; Had we a'stuck to Epsom-salts We'd not a bin lyin in these 'ere vaults Gathered by a Victorian writer from tombstones throughout Britain and the world, "Graveyard Humor" is a collection sure to tickle your funny-bone!

Download or read book Cut These Words into My Stone written by and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lively ancient epitaphs in this bilingual collection fit together like small mosaic tiles, forming a vivid portrait of Greek society. Cut These Words into My Stone offers evidence that ancient Greek life was not only celebrated in great heroic epics, but was also commemorated in hundreds of artfully composed verse epitaphs. They have been preserved in anthologies and gleaned from weathered headstones. Three-year-old Archianax, playing near a well, Was drawn down by his own silent reflection. His mother, afraid he had no breath left, Hauled him back up wringing wet. He had a little. He didn't taint the nymphs' deep home. He dozed off in her lap. He's sleeping still. These words, translated from the original Greek by poet and filmmaker Michael Wolfe, mark the passing of a child who died roughly 2,000 years ago. Ancient Greek epitaphs honor the lives, and often describe the deaths, of a rich cross section of Greek society, including people of all ages and classes— paupers, fishermen, tyrants, virgins, drunks, foot soldiers, generals—and some non-people—horses, dolphins, and insects. With brief commentary and notes, this bilingual collection of 127 short, witty, and often tender epigrams spans 1,000 years of the written word. Cut These Words into My Stone provides an engaging introduction to this corner of classical literature that continues to speak eloquently in our time.
