Ode to a <strong>Candle</strong> <strong>Salad</strong>, by Carolyn Lynch and friends,<br />

Completed in 2000*<br />

<strong>The</strong> second block up from the lower left corner has a tombstone designed by Barbara<br />

Bockman, complete with a hand <strong>of</strong> bananas in place <strong>of</strong> flowers. <strong>The</strong> epitaph, thought to<br />

be from an old tombstone in New England, is this:<br />

“Here lies the body <strong>of</strong> our Anna<br />

Done to death by a banana<br />

It wasn’t the fruit that dealt the blow<br />

But the skin <strong>of</strong> the thing that made her go.”<br />

*A list <strong>of</strong> contributors to the quilt can be found at the end <strong>of</strong> this story.<br />
