“Stranger, what I say is short. Stand and read over it. This is the hardly beautiful tomb of a beautiful woman. Her parents called her Claudia. She loved her husband with all her heart. She had two sons, one of whom she leaves on earth, the other she placed under it. With pleasant conversing but respectable gait she cared for her home and made wool. I have spoken. Move along.”
Roman epitaph CIL 06.15346

You there, boy, what day is it (almost)
Why, sir, we are but mere days from the winter solstice, known otherwise as the darkest day of the year. Naturally, you'll find all things gothic trending on Tumblr today. Long may it continue.
