英语词汇here lies one whose name was writ in water的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

here lies one whose name was writ in water. English poet John Keats (1795–1821) did not invent his own epitaph (above) as is often said. While he lay dying in Rome, listening to the falling water in a fountain outside his room, he remem- bered words from the play Philastes, or Love Lies A-bleeding, written by Beaumont and Fletcher in 1611. “All your better deeds / Shall be in water writ,” one of the characters says. Keats mused upon this sentiment, and a week or so before he died told his friend the painter Joseph Severn that he wanted no epitaph or even name upon his grave, just this line, “Here lies one whose name was writ in water.” On a lighter note, Robert Ross (1869–1918), remembered today as one of Oscar Wilde’s most loyal friends, led a short, stormy life filled with trouble. Toward the end, he was asked what he would have as the words on his gravestone, and Ross, quickly adapting Keat’s famous epitaph, replied “Here lies one whose name is writ in hot water.”
