Certainly not the origin of the text. They were discovered after the poem was written.

@Poli: It's hard to imagine statues from the poem... it feels rather like some kind of ghosts.

I just thought that images of men standing in a tomb was creepily reminiscent of the image the poem evokes.---but it's poetry not photo journalism and it's up to interpretation.

That's the beauty of it.
Thanks again, Alec.
