Famous quotes containing the words ashes and/or scattered:
“Whom I most hated living, thou hast made me
With thy religious truth and modesty,
Now in his ashes honor.”

“Across the lonely beach we flit,
One little sandpiper and I;
And fast I gather, bit by bit,
The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
The wild waves reach their hands for it,
The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
As up and down the beach we flit—
One little sandpiper and I.”
—Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)
