The Wandering Woman For Epigram Contest

THE WANDERING WOMAN

“Go tell the Spartans, Passersby--
A foolish woman does here lie.
She tired of each familiar face--
Thus died mid strangers in this place.”

I saw that this was a winner. I loved it the first time I read it. It was always a winner in my book.
