Personal items of dead people always make me emotional.. do you know what I mean? Even ~2000 years after the fact.. This person's life ended and all that he was

Personal items of dead people always make me emotional.. do you know what I mean? Even ~2000 years after the fact.. This person's life ended and all that he was and thought and felt is now gone.. so we do not know much, except that this item was important to him.

You might enjoy this then: Davenports and kettle drums And swallowtail coats Tablecloths and patent leather shoes Bathing suits and bowling balls And clarinets and rings And all this radio really needs is a fuse A tinker, a tailor, a soldier's things His rifle, his boots full of rocks And this one is for bravery and this one is for me And everything's a dollar in this box Cuff links and hubcaps Trophies and paperbacks It's good transportation But the brakes aren't so hot Neckties and boxing gloves This jackknife is rusted You can pound that dent out on the hood A tinker or tailor, a soldier's things His rifle, his boots full of rocks Oh, and this one is for bravery, oh, and this one is for me And everything's a dollar in this box https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNwC8ETa0pg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNwC8ETa0pg

I most definitely am reminded of how few people leave an archaeological mark when I read these. Though from my perspective, I see him as one of the special ones, even if we know very little. There are so few folks remembered even a generation later -- even the wealthiest industrialists and movie stars quickly fade.
