Ancestral Rites

Famous quotes containing the words ancestral and/or rites:

    The ancestral deed is thought and done,
    And in a million Edens fall
    A million Adams drowned in darkness,
    For small is great and great is small,
    And a blind seed all.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

    According to his virtue let us use him,
    With all respect and rites of burial.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
