“Stranger, stop and cast an eye,
As you are now, so once was I,
As I am now, so you shall be,
Prepare for death and follow me.”
“I sing, as the Boy does by the Burying
Ground - because I am afraid.”

Good insight into the carvers of the gravestones on the Cape and Islands and their different styles through the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. Informative descriptions of how to get to the older gravesites. Interesting analysis of the various epitaphs, too.
