Rhymes of a Rolling Stone. . .

A ways down below here somewhere I posted a couple of color pictures of Robert Service's tomb and home, but had forgotten I'd also done some black and white images that day, back when I was still shooting Kodak Tri-X 400. Robert William Service's poems deserve a large scale revival, he was a bright shining star in the world of poetry. This is the house in Lancieux, France where he lived at the end of his life.

.

I was wondering if the tombstone artist who chiseled the message on Service's headstone may have been challenged by English or whether Service really wrote this line as such ; the last line which says : "For Wake Again" doesn't seem grammatically correct. . . but whatever the case, may you rest in peace, Mr Service. . .

.

I'm not sure what the story behind this memorial message on the Service family tomb may be, looks like an infant daughter must have passed away very young. . . will have to track down a biography.
