Well, part of someone......................... The heart of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley is buried in St Peter's church, Bournemouth, near where I live. His heart was rescued from his funeral pyre (in Italy) by a friend who presented it to Shelley's widow, (Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein), who preserved the heart by pressing it flat in a book (ughhhh) .....until her death, when she and her husband's heart were buried together..... The rest of Shelley's ashed are buried in Rome..... Hmmmmmm............... Merry

Alexander Ross: ' Poet. Born the son of a farmer in the parish of Kincardine O'Neil (Aberdeenshire), Ross was educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen, graduating in 1718. For a time he was tutor to the children of Sir William Forbes of Craigievar and went on to teach at Aboyne and Laurencekirk. In 1732, he was appointed the school-master at Lochlee in Glen Esk (Angus) where he was to remain for the rest of his life. He began composing poetry in Scots for his own amusement but was persuaded to publish a collection entitled The Fortunate Shepherdess in 1768 by the influential poet James Beattie (1735 - 1803). Ross was praised by Robert Burns (1759-86) and quoted by Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832). Ross died at Lochlee, where he is buried. Ross himself wrote several of the inscriptions on the old stones in the parish churchyard where he himself lies. ' I saw his grave yesterday when I was out hiking.
