Grave Initials

Famous quotes containing the words grave and/or initials:

    I was the Dreamer, they the Dream; I roam’d
    Delighted, through the motley spectacle;
    Gowns grave or gaudy, Doctors, Students, Streets,
    Lamps, Gateways, Flocks of Churches, Courts and Towers:
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    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.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
