Grave Initials

Famous quotes containing the words grave and/or initials:

    ““The stalk is withered dry, my love,
    So will our hearts decay;
    So make yourself content, my love,
    Till God calls you away.””
    —Unknown. The Unquiet Grave (l. 25–28)

    “Deathlessness should be arrived at in a ... haphazard fashion. Loving fame as much as any man, we shall carve our initials in the shell of a tortoise and turn him loose in a peat bog.”
