Epitaph on his headstone, which he used in letters to Lillian D. Clark (March 1926) and James F. Morton (May 1926) around the time of his April 1926 return to Providence after living for two years in New York City. Originally Lovecraft was buried without his own separate grave marker, his name simply carved into the family's obelisk, but in 1977 a network of fans paid to add this headstone.
