Meet you at the cemetery gates


Today I accompanied a leading Wittgenstein scholar on an homage to the great man's graveside, which is down a quiet side path in outer Cambridge.  

It is said, though perhaps apocryphal, that the philosopher's last words were 'Tell them I've had a wonderful life.'

'Blllllllll brrrr brrrrrr.' I said wittily, which means: 'Tell them I've had a wonderful walk.  Tee hee!'
