Babu and I wander into the sanctuary, looking at chest-high tablets inscribed with epitaphs for both Sherpa and foreign climbers. |
He gazed goggle-eyed at the monuments to the great and good interred there, and read their epitaphs with awe. |
Some proclaim pages to store eulogies and epitaphs, which I think is taking virtual reality a little far. |
Amusement can be gained from tombstone epitaphs which, when read differently, can see intentions misconstrued to say the least. |
The images in the frieze seem to elaborate in visual terms what the epitaphs below convey in words. |
The epitaphs, written in many different languages, recorded an international community of the dead. |
