Excerpt from Mount Auburn, and Other Poems
What is Life? A bubble dancing Sparkling fountain's brim, Pain ted by the sunbeam glancing O'er its evanescent rim. Soon its soft reflected glories, Images of colored skies, Vanish - when the haze of evening O'er the panorama dies. Life, with all its bliss and troubles.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of verse traverses Mount Auburn Cemetery and reflects on life, death, and the beauty of the natural world. Contemplating various memorials, crypts, and monuments within the cemetery, the author ponders mortality and examines how different people from various walks of life have been remembered after death. The musings range from memorials of grandeur to those that are more modest, yet the author treats each with equal reverence. Some reflections delve into the history and achievements of the deceased, while others contemplate the evanescence of life, considering how quickly time passes and how inevitably death comes for us all. The author also considers his or her own mortality, reflecting on the brevity of life and the importance of savoring every moment. Along the way, the book explores themes of love, loss, grief, and remembrance. Ultimately, it reveals the paradoxical nature of death â" it is an end and a beginning, a moment of sorrow and a celebration of life.
