“We All End Up in the Same Ground”
“3 Messages from Elegy”
People spend their whole lives figuring out who they are and what kind of a person they will end up. We think about what is going to be said once we die, and whether or not it’s going to be good or bad things. In Elegy, he talks about what people really search in life, and it kind of turns on him where he thinks about his life and what will be said on his headstone. The three messages from his poem are; death is the great equalizer, virtues, and missed opportunities.
Gray is completely right when talking about death. “The paths of glory lead but to the grave.”-Line 36. Even the best must one day lie beneath the earth, like all the rest of the men and women now buried in the ground.
