Briefly discuss about Grammarian
The grammarian decided he needed to understand life before he lived it and so he locked himself away, from common people devoted, solely to the study of his grammar as the days passed and he fell into ill health. His disciples, of which the speaker seems to be the leader, apparently applaud the choice as noble. The fact that they are burying him far away from everyday life, from the common people, suggests that the grammarian has made a noble choice and hence deserves to be buried apart from and above normal men; yet all the while the reader is left to wonder whether such a life truly could bring happiness to the grammarian.
