    “Friends and contemporaries should supply only the name and date, and leave it to posterity to write the epitaph.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Today as in the time of Pliny and Columella, the hyacinth flourishes in Wales, the periwinkle in Illyria, the daisy on the ruins of Numantia; while around them cities have changed their masters and their names, collided and smashed, disappeared into nothingness, their peaceful generations have crossed down the ages as fresh and smiling as on the days of battle.”
    —Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)

    “The senseless drowned
    Have faces nobody would care to see,
    But water loves those gradual erasures
    Of flesh and shoreline, greenery and glass,”
    —Howard Moss (b. 1922)
