Famous quotes containing the word buried:

Down deeper than the canyons undersea
The sullen spectrum of a buried lake
Nobody saw; not seen even by me....”

“Why should the generations overlap one another at all? Why cannot we be buried as eggs in neat little cells with ten or twenty thousand pounds each wrapped round us in Bank of England notes, and wake up, as the Sphinx wasp does, to find that its papa and mamma have not only left ample provision at its elbow but have been eaten by sparrows some weeks before we began to live consciously on our own accounts?”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“He was buried in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day.”
