Famous quotes containing the word ashes:
“My fathers ashes are not yet interred. ... strangely, I find the fact that he isnt properly laid to rest helps me when Im doing this play.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)
“But at my back I always hear
Times winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The graves a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (16211678)
“To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his gods,”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (18001859)
