What Endures in Stone

I

The Hand Knows the Grain

Every slate face takes instruction differently. We read the stone before the first chisel strikes.

II

Depth Over Display

A V-cut reveals itself only in light. Shallow letters fade; ours are struck to hold shadow.

III

Time Is the Patron

Lichen grows where machines cannot reach. Two centuries of weather prove what polish cannot.

IV

A Name Deserves Its Weight

The same hand that cuts the first letter cuts the last. No apprentice touches the epitaph.
