Lines of chiselled granite run their death-rows across the tended hillside: black and grey and marble white. I look for some point of reference to keep me right. That touch of the surreal again, faintly absurd, has me flustering down the lines of standing stone - "In loving memory", "In heavenly love abiding truth" - each passing surname locates my vanished youth.
