Wittgenstein’s grave



Wittgenstein’s grave, originally uploaded by jjn1.

In Ascension Churchyard, Cambridge. People leave the strangest objects and messages on the grave of the great philosopher.

For example:

The ashes of my first wife, Carol, are buried in this loveliest of churchyards, and whenever I go there I always check Ludwig’s grave on the way out. Sometimes the messages are deeply poignant, and make one wonder what lies behind them. There’s a novel here, somewhere.
