Another reference is found in the epitaph, which quotes from Percy Shelley’s poem Ozymandias, the title and theme of the AMC series’ antepenultimate episode.
Maybe I'm just being dense, but I don't see an epitaph in any of those photos.
- ghaff 7y agoI don't know where Atlas Obscura got that from. It's definitely not in the photo. (And Atlas Obscura or sites that seem to have copied from it word for word is the only place that appears to mention it.)
- kiernanmcgowan 7y agoYou have company, I didn't see an epitaph either.
- ZeroGravitas 7y agoThe bit with the names of businesses, looks like it may be stuck over something else, it doesn't match the rest. Maybe that's covering it.
- jdfellow 7y agoI learned a new word, though. "Antepenultimate." And penultimate was already one of my favorite words.
- samatman 7y agoAntepenultimate is a great word because of the antepenultimate rule, which is that in English, the antepenultimate syllable is (usually) the one to stress in a polysyllabic word. The an-te-pen-UL-ti-mate rule. Makes it easy to remember!
