Epitaphy is a demoralizing kind ol

eulogizes the dead almost to the very

is: "Here lies" Very suggestive, for
the lies are frequently quite astonishing
almost enough so to both amuse and
amaze the dead of whom they are written.
A truthful epitaph, in many instances,
would be: "Here lies one who omitted
