Joseph Carey Merrick (5 August 1862 – 11 April 1890) In memory of Joseph Merrick, who died 124 years ago in 1890. To pay homage to the destiny of this moving man, please watch this 2011 good 20 documentary, Joseph Merrick - The Real Elephant Man. “Tis true my form is something odd, But blaming me is blaming God; Could I create myself anew I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole Or grasp the ocean with a span, I would be measured by the soul; The minds the standard of the man.” A poem used by Joseph Merrick to end his letters, adapted from False Greatness by Isaac Watts.
