- WASHINGTON IRVING, 1819
Stratford-On-Avon, Sketch Book.
<<A flat stone marks the spot where the bard is buried. There
are four lines inscribed on it, said to have been written by
himself, and which have in them something extremely AWFUL.
A few years since also, as some laborers were
DIGGing to make an adjoining vault, the earth caved in,
so as to leave a vacant space almost like an ARCH,
through which one might have reached into his grave.
No one, however, presumed to meddle with his remains
so awfully guarded by a malediction; and lest any of
the idle or the curious or any collector of relics should be
tempted to commit depredations, the *OLD SEXTON* kept
watch over the place for two days, until the vault was finished
and the aperture closed again. He told me that he had made
bold to look in at the hole, but could see neither coffin nor
BONES-- *NOTHING but DUST* . It was something,
I thought, to have seen the *DUST of Shakespeare*.>>
