  1. @Basmitharts @Mark: And yes, there's a story behind the hearse. Before having bought my #CX Break, I had an eye on CX Breaks + Familiales on eBay.

    A #Familiale was sold and showed up on eBay again just 2 weeks later, now from the buyer of the previous listing. As he was closer to me than the original seller, I was curious enough to request an appointment to view the car. It was a mortician who wanted to convert it into an auxiliary #hearse, but the coffin rails only fit Breaks, not Familiales…

  2. #December 9, 1608
    #OTD John #Milton, #English #Poet, is born.

    His #Elegy, called #Lycidas, was dedicated to his #Friend, Edward King, who died young.

    The #Poem mentions 11 #Flowers at his #Funeral including the #Primrose, #TuftedCrowToe, #Gessamine, #Pansy, #Violet, #MuskRose, #Woodbine, & #Cowslips.

    The #Verse ends:

    Every #Flower that #Sad #Embroidery wears:
    Bid #Amaranthus all his #Beauty shed,
    & #Daffadillies fill their cups with #Tears,
    To strew the #Laureate #Hearse where #Lycid lies.
