Contemplation of a small country cemetery at twilight,the meaning of death for the simple people who live in that rural village in communion with nature.All earthly goods (nobility, power ...) are useless and illusory. The theme of the equality of men is reaffirmed.]]> 2018-05-11 16:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafalcone148/j79eosl9ikwm/wish/260016610 mariafalcone148 https://padlet.com/mariafalcone148/j79eosl9ikwm/wish/260020240 Gray adds the story of a man with a hoary head who, before dying, used to roam the land and that can be understood as a stunt of the poet himself.

The Elegia closes with an Epitaph that describes the poet's tomb, on which the narrator is meditating.
