Capitolo 54
Or with the other poets the pasts are thought of as indulging in the Elysian
fields or the Islands of the Benedict. As a stone cries out to the
passer-by:[40] "May that you live whom you/they will have said. 'You alive in Elysium,'"
and of a small girl is said:[41] the thy of "May they shade flower in fields
Elysian." The soul sometimes goes to the sky or the stars: "Here the lies
body of the bard Laberius, for his/her spirit you/he/she has gone to the place from
what it came"; [42] "You grave contains my edges, my soul will pass the
stars of sky."[43] but more frequently the break passed in the grave.
As one of it expresses him to them: "This is at my eternal home; here I have been
envoy; here I am for yes." This belief around which the shade hovers him
the grave engraves for the regards addressed to him what that we have
noticed above, and for the food and flowers that are suited for satisfying
his/her appetites and tastes. These tributes to the corpse don't seem to grant
with the Roman and current belief that the body has been dissolved for dusting, and
what the soul was dressed with some incorporeal form, but the Romans were
anybody more constant in eschatology theirs that many of us are.
Perhaps it was this vague conception of the state after death that
stripped the Roman of that exultant joy in the anticipation of the world
over that the devoted Cristiano, one hundred years or ago, express
in his/her epitaphs, with the Gilded City it so clearly painted to his/her eye, and
from way of the compensation the Roman was saved by the they feared of death, for
nobody judgment-set compared him/it in the other world. The end of the life was
attended with reasonable calm. Sometimes died the welcome one you/he/she was given because it
brought rest. As a citizen of it:[44 of special messenger of Lambsesis] "Here is my house
forever; here is a toil rest; " and on the stone of a woman us the read:[45]
"Where the hast you gone, the dear soul, looking for rest from troubles,
For that that anything else other than hast of the trouble you it had in the whole life of thy?"
