Famous quotes containing the word cover:

“Nothing can we call our own but death,
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.”

“Though the whole wind
slash at your bark,
you are lifted up,
aye though it hiss
to cover you with froth.”

“Laid out for death, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and moss-work for to cover me:
And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
