Grave Site

Famous quotes containing the words grave and/or site:

    “The wind doth blow today, my love,”
    And a few small drops of rain;
    I never had but one true love,
    In cold grave she was lain.
    —Unknown. The Unquiet Grave (l. 1–4)

    That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
