On the gate post of Cemetery for Foreign People, line 34-36 of Thomas Gray's Elegy written in a Country Churchyard were engraved.
And all that beauty、 all that wealth e'er gave,Awaits alike th' inevitable hour:
The paths of glory lead but to the Grave.
Line 73 is Mr. Greenwood's favourite; Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife.
Most interesting gravestone was the one for Walter Raymond Hallowell Garew. He was poisoned by his beautiful wife who fell in love with handsome banker.
On his gravestone is engraved three lines from "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred Tennyson.
Gravestone of Walter Raymond Hallowell Garew
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
First word "Sunset" was replaced with "Twilight". It seems that by doing so, her hope for future is expressed.
Under poem of Alfred Tennyson, you can find two line of a poem of George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier, Trilby, inscribed on his memorial tablet, Hampstead Churchyard.
A little trust that when we die
We reap our sowing, and so--Good-bye.
After a long walk he enjoyed Chinese dinner in Famous Chinatown in Yokohama.
