I try to start my beginning Latin class every day with a piece of "real" Latin, and here's what I found today for tomorrow's class. It's an epitaph for a woman, and it kind of blows me away:
Cinis sum, cinis terra est, terra dea est; ergo ego mortua non sum.
"I am ash, ash is earth, earth is a goddess; therefore I am not dead."
