Who never bloodied sword;
Here lieth the noble counsellor,
Who never held his word.

Who ruled all the state;
Here lieth the Earl of Leicester,
Whom all the world did hate.”

“The earth is not earth but a stone,
Not the mother that held men as they fell
But stone, but like a stone, no: not
The mother, but an oppressor, but like
An oppressor that grudges them their death,
As it grudges the living that they live.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
