The graveyard

Went to play with our dog in the church graveyard near Gran's house. The gravestones are really interesting. They're all different shapes, with fancy lettering and intricate stone carving. The graves have been there since long before Daddy was born ... that's a really long time!


"Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire;
Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd,
Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre"

(Thomas Gray - Elegy Written in a Country Graveyard)
