Actual roman epitaph for a dog

[daenerysoftarth]

“Stranger, what I say is short. Stand and read over it. This is the hardly beautiful tomb of a beautiful woman. Her parents called her Claudia. She loved her husband with all her heart. She had two sons, one of whom she leaves on earth, the other she placed under it. With pleasant conversing but respectable gait she cared for her home and made wool. I have spoken. Move along.”

Roman epitaph CIL 06.15346

An Epitaph for Rachel Pollack

In our years of correspondence, Rachel and I discussed pretty much every topic under the sun, and a few from the other side of the sun as well.

In one exchange, we discussed epitaphs. As I was doing a great deal of conference planning work at the time, I jokingly wrote that mine would be, "She planned great menus and sourced the best swag".

Rachel replied:

"She planned great menus" seems an exciting epitaph. I would take notice of that if I walked past it.

Now & then I think of what I might want on my tombstone (if I were to have one). I suppose, "She had a fucking amazing life" would not be acceptable.

"Saver of lives" might be nice.

"She walked with God and was no more," what the Bible says about Enoch, would be interesting.

Of course, not dying (or aging or getting disabled, etc.) would be even more interesting.

"Where do stories come from?" might be nice, especially since readers of Unquenchable Fire would know that the answer is, "The Land of the Dead."

"Knight of the Imagination" is another favorite.

Actually, my favorite epitaph—because it came from someone else, was from a fan, who wrote, "When she's gone, there will never be another like her."

To that anonymous fan: thank you.

She had a fucking amazing life.

She's gone, and there will never be another like her.

Rest in poetry, passion, and play, my dear friend.

Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader - Epitaph To Walk Bravely First into Darkness

[lionofchaeronea]

You wandering and winsome little soul, The body's guest and its companion too, Into what places now will you depart? You pale and stiff and naked little thing, You won't make jokes the way you're wont to do. Animula vagula blandula Hospes comesque corporis Quae nunc abibis in loca? Pallidula rigida nudula Nec ut soles dabis iocos. --The dying poem of the Roman emperor Hadrian, cited in the "Vita Hadriani" of the Historia Augusta
