We Scattered Some Ashes Here



Extract from Main Page:
 We scattered half of John's ashes at the foot of his grandmother's gravestone, where there is an inscription; "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty" (from the King James bible, Isiah 33:17)
The snowdrops close by were just beginning to emerge and it struck me that they would look very pretty when they opened in a couple of weeks. Shirley said a some final words of goodbye and there were a few tears all round.

The full text the quotation comes from is:
(17) Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
(18) Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? Where is the receiver? Where is he that counted the towers?
(19) Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

I'm told that the scribe, receiver and he that counted the towers can be loosely translated as the tax collector. In short, the second and third verses of the quote mean that you will be free from material worries and those you may be afraid of.
