Question

When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men?

Answer 1

this line means that if we had done good deeds and had gone from the world like a guest then we should not seek our town in the earth because all these monuments and statues that would stand out for our immortality would not last long as the ravages of time will have a bad effect on them and eventually they shall fall but if the posterity remembers us it would be our earth in its heart
