Scheme Book
A Writer's Epitaph
Thu, July 26, 2007 - 12:11 PMBut for whatever it's worth, here are my favorites:
H.G. Wells: "Goddamn you all, I told you so."
Dorothy Parker: "Pardon my dust."
Dorothy Parker (yeah, she was noir enough to write multiples): "Everywhere she went, including here, was against her better judgment."
And mine? (Without claiming such lofty company of course)
Just a poem, please...
Boneyard requiem
that final wormy dance
From birth to death cradle to grave
poor bastard never stood a chance.
From imbalmed flesh to forgotten dust
coffin nails long turned to rust
until...
No one living recalls his name.
He might not have ever been.
