No Name Can Be Read There
In the Père-Lachaise cemetery, in the neighborhood of the potters’ field, far from the elegant quarter of that city of sepulchers, far from all those fantastic tombs that display in presence of eternity the hideous fashions of death, in a deserted corner, beside an old wall, beneath a great yew on which the bindweed climbs, among the dog-grass and the mosses, there is a stone. This stone is exempt no more than the rest from the leprosy of time, from the mold, the lichen, and the birds’ droppings. The air turns it black, the water green. It is near no path, and people do not like to go in that direction, because the grass is high, and they would wet their feet. All around there is a rustling of wild oats. In spring, the linnets come to sing in the tree.
This stone is entirely blank. The only thought in cutting it was of the essentials of the grave, and there was no other care than to make this stone long enough and narrow enough to cover a man.
No name can be read there.
Only many years ago, a hand wrote on it in pencil these four lines, which have gradually become illegible under the rain and the dust, and are probably gone by now:
23994 = Il dort. Quoique le sort fût pour lui bien étrange.
22982 = Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n’eut plus son ange.
15117 = La chose simplement d’elle-même arriva,
19824 = Comme la nuit se fait lorsque le jour s’en va.
A Name Can Be Read There
(Malachy‘s Prophecy)
25882 = In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus,
22136 = qui pascet oues in multis tribulationibus:
26227 = quibus transactis ciuitas septicollis diruetur,
19973 = & Iudex tremêdus iudicabit populum suum.
2600 = FINIS. ¹
La chose simplement d’elle-même arriva
4316 = Veritas
-4119 = Ignorance
100 = The End
179031
¹ In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church
will be occupied by Peter the Roman,
who will feed the sheep through many tribulations;
when they are over, the city of seven hills will be destroyed,
and the terrible or fearsome Judge will judge his people. The End.
