Dead Language

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or language:

    an endless wind
    Whips at the headstones of the dead and wails
    In the trees for all who have and have not sinned.

    For all symbols are fluxional; all language is vehicular and transitive, and is good, as ferries and horses are, for conveyance, not as farms and houses are, for homestead.
