Edgar Lee Masters Ravishment Case

101 Words1 Page

The lawyer, John M. Church from the collection of epitaphs composed by Edgar Lee Masters was predicated of the other epitaphs that link to a ravishment case. The epitaph includes how good, prosperous, and affluent this lawyer was, but at the cessation comes up with a quote that says, "But the rats devoured my heart, And a snake made a nest in my skull!" The best inference made up from this quote, in my opinion, would be that he either had a change of heart or died. Either one has to do with the ravishment case of the small town poetess.
