"Epitaph" is a literary term referring to a short piece of writing, typically on a tombstone, commemorating a deceased person. It can be a poem, a short statement, or a phrase.
Different authors have written epitaphs throughout history. Some famous examples include:
* Shakespeare: Wrote epitaphs for himself and others, like the one for his friend, the actor Richard Burbage.
* Ben Jonson: Famous for writing witty epitaphs, like the one for the poet and playwright John Donne.
* John Keats: His epitaph was famously written by himself: "Here lies one whose name was writ in water."
If you are asking about a specific "Epitaph" you have in mind, please provide more context. For example, you could tell me:
* The name of the person the epitaph is about.
* Where you saw or read the epitaph.
* A few words from the epitaph itself.
This would help me identify the specific author you're interested in.
