Text Appearing Before Image:
of thedead for the sake of the living, Mary Shelley had passedaway, and was resting in Bournemouth churchyard, theburial-place nearest to the home of her only survivingchild. In order that parents and daughter might resttogether, the remains of Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraftwere transferred to the same spot by their grandson,in whose house, enshrined in a silver urn, are the ashes ofhis father. It is Shelleys heart alone, cor cordium, thatthe Roman grave contains. Clerical intolerance utteredsome protests against the inscription on the grave, wherestand recorded the works by which each who lies there isbest known, though it is difficult to see why words whichwere innocent in St Pancras churchyard were harmful else-where. But kinder and wiser counsels prevailed, and on asunny bank, sloping to the west, among the rose-twined THE END. 333 crosses of many who have died in more orthodox behefs,rest those who at least might each of them have said Write me, as one that loves his fellow-men.
