Famous quotes containing the words death and/or burial:

    Liberal hopefulness
    Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.
    William Empson (1906–1984)

    I heard the bell tolled on thy burial day,
    I saw the hearse that bore thee slow away,
    And, turning from my nursery window, drew
    A long, long sigh, and wept a last adieu!
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
