hic jacet

The authors of the infamous policy have written their hic jacet against our civilization.

They are generally confined to a mere statement of the name and rank of the deceased following the words “Hic jacet.”

Hic jacet in tumba Rosa mundi, non Rosa munda;Non redolet, sed olet, qu redolere solet.

The Arab tomb is, generally speaking, a thing of simplicity, a simple slab bearing the Arab words for the sentiment Hic jacet.

On one side, in raised letters in granite, appear the words 'Hic jacet nil.'
