His friends who were with him remembered his wish, and buried him with honour in the place he had loved and chosen so many years before. Example: He launched into a long rigmarole of which I understood no word: the Skyriots speak a language all their own, and are unintelligible even to the Psariots, who inhabit the next island. But his tone, and the uninhibited delight of his expression, were eloquence enough.

He loved the place so much, he said, he wanted to be buried here.
