After an Inscription on a Greek Stele
of a Woman holding her Grandchild on her Knees
My daughter's dear child here I hold on my lap: so
I used to hold him of old in those days
When with living eyes we both looked on the sun:
Now that he's dead, I still hold him: for I
Am dead too.
– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Stephen Spender
