Lost Lives
 (Best Offer)
This article reflects with both sorrow and optimism on the sadness of lives that have been lived and left, with no memorial to mark their passing. These issues are considered in the light of the seminal English poetic work which generated a whole new genre of poetry and a new class of writers, ‘The Graveyard Poets.’ Thomas Gray’s own views as expressed in his ‘Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard’ are examined and compared optimistically to the more high-tech memorial solutions we have open to us today.

Cemetery Picnic

We children all looked forward to helping Mamma tend the family graves. We didn´t find it strange or morbid. In fact, those visits to weed and trim and scrub instilled in us a sense of family, of continuity of the past into the present and the future. Today most of us can´t pass a cemetery, especially an old southern cemetery, without being drawn to visit, even though we know none of our family lies among its graves.
