Famous quotes containing the word grave:

    “The wind doth blow today, my love,”
    And a few small drops of rain;
    I never had but one true love,
    In cold grave she was lain.
    —Unknown. The Unquiet Grave (l. 1–4)

    Leave now
    The shut gate and the decomposing wall:
    The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
    Riots with his tongue through the hush
    Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “The stalk is withered dry, my love,
    So will our hearts decay;
    So make yourself content, my love,
    Till God calls you away.”
    —Unknown. The Unquiet Grave (l. 25–28)
