Famous quotes containing the words burial and/or place:
“On the beach at night,
Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.
Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“We turned to other things.
I haven’t any memory have you?
Of ever coming to the place again
To see if the birds lived the first night through.
And so at last to learn to use their wings.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
