May 19, 2009 Fortsat fra sidste side ~ Continued from last page Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia The Oakland Cemetery is located at 248 Oakland Ave Southeast in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia   Lige nede ad gaden lå Atlantas gamle Oakland Kirkegård, og så kunne man jo næsten ikke dy sig.... Vi fik ikke nær tid til at se det hele, men så har vi da heldigvis altid en undskyldning til at komme igen! Just down the street lay Atlanta's old Oakland Cemetery, which was just too tempting.... We didn't even get close to seeing it all, leaving us with a convenient excuse to come back again!       Kirkegården åbnede i 1850, og minder om en engelsk have i stil. The cemetery opened in 1850, and is reminiscent in style of an English garden.

"Mit adopterede hjemland, hvor de elskede sover svøbt i dine blomsters favn, gid det var min skæbne at forøge overfloden af din herlighed, da det har været min lod at tage del i din succes; for når mine år skælvende kommer til deres ende, vil jeg sove under din jord, hvor dryppende apriltårer kan falde på min grav; og så din himmels solskin kan varme sydlige blomster, for at de kan blomstre på mit bryst." "Land of my adoption where the loved sleep folded in the embrace of your flowers, would that it were my destiny to increase the flood tide of your glory as it has been mine to share your fortunes; for when my years tremble to their close, I would sleep beneath your soil where the drip of April tears may fall upon my grave; and the sunshine of your skies warm southern flowers to bloom upon my breast."

Den herre, som sidder mageligt her ovenpå sit gravkammer og holder øje med sagerne, er bygmester Jasper Newton Smith (1833 - 1918). Den virkelige Jasper Newton Smith siges at have haft en aversion mod at gå med slips, i en så stor grad, at da skulptøren først lavede statuen med slips på, nægtede Jasper Smith at betale ham, før kravatten var blevet hugget af igen. Det siges også at hans morgenavis blev leveret hertil i årevis. The gentleman sitting comfortably here on top of his tomb keeping an eye on things is real estate tycoon Jasper Newton Smith (1833 - 1918). The real live Jasper Newton Smith is said to have had an aversion against wearing neckties, so much so that when the sculptor first made the statue wear a tie, Jasper Smith refused to pay him until he had chopped it back off again. It is also said that his morning paper was delivered here for years.     Annie Miller
