british museum - nereid monument, 380 bc, from xanthos... this tomb building was erected for a lykian dynasty... the nymphs of the sea are between the columns
british museum - inner coffin, shucks, perhaps we ought to bring these back and tell our life stories with imagery... i wonder if embellishment is acceptable and encouraged...
to laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
