Ovid's and Shakespeare's Epitaphs

Gematric concordance of two tombstone inscriptions

The number 34

1.      The meaning of number 34 arises from the hexagram:

As the grafic shows, the hexagram contains three double rhombi. If two of them are arranged in the form of a cross, they can be shaped to become a octahedron:

An octahedron is made up of 26 elements: 6 corners, 8 areas and 12 edges. If it is seen as composed by two opposite pyramids, one half of the visible octahedron consists of 17 elements: 5 corners, 4 areas and 8 edges.

An octahedron looks like an URN to harbour the ashes of a deceased person.

Shakespeare, too, obviously knew this meaning of 34.
