Madam, – Sadly Ludwig Wittgenstein has been forgotten, not only at the Aisling Hotel (September 20th), but even at the very heart of his great works. Last week I visited the little known Ascension Parish Burial Ground in Cambridge, an unkempt and semi-abandoned graveyard, where I eventually found the final resting place of this great philosopher. His simple flat gravestone was overgrown with weeds and moss. The famous pennies, and some other small faded tributes, were still there, adding to the overall feeling of neglect. – Yours, etc,
