Gravestones of Thomas Wolfe and O. Henry (Asheville, NC)

These photos were taken by a friend, S. Hayes. O. Henry's birthname was William Syndney Porter. I googled for the words on Wolfe's stone:

A BELOVED AMERICAN AUTHOR

OCT 3, 1900  --  SEPT 15, 1938

"THE LAST VOYAGE, THE LONGEST, THE BEST" (LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL)

"DEATH BENT TO TOUCH HIS CHOSEN SON WITH MERCY, LOVE AND PITY, AND PUT THE SEAL OF HONOR ON HIM WHEN HE DIED" (THE WEB AND THE ROCK)
