Si Monumentum Requiris, Circumspice

Christopher Wren,
the leading architect
of London's reconstruction
after the great fire of 1666,
lies buried beneath the floor of his most famous building,
St. Paul's cathedral.
No elaborate sarcophagus adorns the site. Instead,
we find only the famous epitaph written by his son and now inscribed into the floor:
si monumentum requiris, circumspice
—-if you are searching for his monument, look around.
A tad grandiose, perhaps, but I have never read a finer testimony to the central importance—-one might even say sacredness-—of actual places, rather than replicas, symbols, or other forms of vicarious resemblance.
