About Abigail Bracket Greene
Abigail Greene's headstone (inscribed on both sides):
Front -- (Verses)
Truth, Goodness, Beauty, / She Lived and Led to.
Back -- (Verses)
Love was not/Till noble hearts existed/Nor mankind's noblest being,/Free Love was born.
All that is earthly,/But shows the Ideal/The once Unattainable/Here becomes Real
The Indescribable/Here is it done/Love endless material/Draweth upward and on.
