A cemetery is like a library full of stories

Robert Kirby Says “For me, a cemetery is a library. You can’t escape the tragedy of cemeteries, though, or the stories. To the indifferent eye, cemeteries are a collection of stone blocks. I see books with dust jacket inscriptions.”

    Last vestige of my memory
    This guy might enjoy Spoon River Anthology Edgar Lee Masters. Here’s an excerpt:

    Seth Compton

    WHEN I died, the circulating library
    Which I built up for Spoon River,
    And managed for the good of inquiring minds,
    Was sold at auction on the public square,
    As if to destroy the last vestige
    Of my memory and influence.

    Likewise “Our Town” by
    Likewise “Our Town” by Thorten Wilder. An excellent view of the living by the compassionate dead in the town’s cemetery.
    What would you do if, after death, you had the chance to re-live one whole day, the best day of your life? “Don’t do it,” they said.
