Bury/landmarks

Famous quotes containing the words bury and/or landmarks:

    We beg one hour of death, that neither she
    With widow’s tears may live to bury me,
    Nor weeping I, with wither’d arms, may bear
    My breathless Baucis to the sepulchre.’
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.
    Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
