Coffin

Famous quotes containing the word coffin:

“Not a flower, not a flower sweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn.
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there.”

Or a square baby
Were there not such a din in it.”

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.”
