OBITUARY POETRY: No real sorrow is displayed by the tacking of doggeral to funeral announcements. Such poetical grief is merely disgusting although vulgar minds may regard it as “touching” and impressive. ‘the grave is not the place for the display of extravagant nonsense, and those who indulge in the latter over the dead bodies of their relitives, are justly to be suspected of harboring more vanity than anguish.” hew York Ledger.
