In perpetuity

Robert C Dickson 1
PMCID: PMC117863

The rain acidic with pollution weathers the faces of our tombstones erasing names of those who paid with fame or cash for chiselled monuments of lime ensuring immortality.

Soon the blurred and fading epitaphs will be forgotten.

Try granite next time.

Robert C. Dickson Family physician Hamilton, Ont.
