Famous quotes containing the words dense and/or bodies:

    “In some of those dense fir and spruce woods there is hardly room for the smoke to go up. The trees are a standing night, and every fir and spruce which you fell is a plume plucked from night’s raven wing.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “At the round earth’s imagined corners, blow
    Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise
    From death, you numberless infinities
    Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go,”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
