y and not believing in life after death:
And I: "Master, who are these people that,

Entombed within these chests of solid stone,

Make themselves felt by their distressful sighs?"

With their disciples, from all sects, and more

Than you'll believe are loaded in these tombs.


"Like soul lies buried here encased with like;

Some monuments are hotter and some less."
