      The term “epitaph” itself means

      “something to be spoken at a burial or

      engraved upon a tomb.” When an epitaph

      is a poem … and appears in a book, we

      are aware that we are not reading it in its

      proper form: we are reading a reproduction.

      The original of the epitaph is the tomb

      itself, with its words cut into the stone.
