Grave Clothes

Famous quotes containing the words grave and/or clothes:

    “Leave now
    The shut gate and the decomposing wall:
    The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
    Riots with his tongue through the hush
    Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
