They Have Chiseled On My Stone The Words: "His Life Was Gentle, And The Elements So Mixed In Him That Nature Might Stand Up And Say To All The World, This Was A Man." Those Who Knew Me Smile As They Read This Empty Rhetoric. My Epitaph Should Have Been: "Life Was Not Gentle To Him, And The Elements So Mixed In Him That He Made Warfare On Life In The Which He Was Slain." While I Lived I Could Not Cope With Slanderous Tongues, Now That I Am Dead I Must Submit To An Epitaph Graven By A Fool!
