tomb was empty, and a half dead rose vine that
climbed over the marble had burst into foliage
and flowers just above the door, and over it there
was the most wonderful light. Oh, Stan didn't
consider putting it in the contest. He had it
framed, to hang in his bedroom, where he could
see II the first thing In the morning, to inspire
him for the day. Under 1t was that text from
