I've seen three of these - Spike's, the Emperor Augustus and Christopher Wren.

I visited John Clare's grave a few weeks back (we were in the area, it wasn't like a pilgrimage or anything). His has carved into the stone "A poet is born not made" and, quite fittingly, the final letter "e" has faded a little.

Brilliant!
I'm sorely tempted to post this in the "Found Poetry" section, thereby getting all the credit!
