[00:25.64]Photo of the dead
[00:30.93]死亡照片
[00:39.36]In Greece, people aren't always buried.
[00:44.36]The bodies of the deceased
[00:46.12]are usually laid to rest inside marble tombs
[00:49.44]above ground with lids
[00:51.52]that can be easily lifted or slid aside.
[00:55.84]This tugged¹ at my heart more than anything else
[00:59.67]- to see the faces of the people buried there
[01:02.94]as they were in life;
[01:05.49]their warm smiles and the kindness in their eyes.
[01:09.04]I spent a long time wandering around,
[01:12.35]kneeling in the grass next to the graves,
[01:14.99]talking to the people lying there
[01:16.90]and wondering how their lives had been.
[01:21.78]When I walked to the rear edge of the cemetery,
[01:24.83]an unusual sight caught my eye
[01:28.06]- a tomb that was twice as large as any of the others.
[01:32.90]When I looked inside the cabinet,
[01:35.14]I found out why.
[01:37.32]There was a photograph of a young couple
[01:39.46]with their arms around each other, laughing.
[01:43.63]The date of their deaths,
[01:45.29]etched in the stone, were identical.
[01:48.49]Apparently, they were married
[01:50.51]and had died together in some kind of an accident.
[01:54.61]They had been laid in each other's arms inside the tomb.
[01:58.27]I can't relate all the feelings I had
[02:01.71]while looking at that picture of them together,
[02:04.96]bursting with youthful energy,
[02:07.79]their eager smiles full of excitement
[02:10.05]and anticipation² of their lives together.
[02:13.79]A line from a poem
[02:15.16]by Andrew Marvell crossed my mind -
[02:18.37]"The grave is a fine and private place but none,
[02:22.37]I think, do there embrace."
[02:26.19]I hoped it wasn't true.
