Famous quotes containing the words notable, people, interred, indian, mound and/or cemetery:

    a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    The issue is a mighty one for all people and all time; and whoever aids the right, will be appreciated and remembered.

    The evil that men do lives after them;
    The good is oft interred with their bones.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Land of opportunity, land for the huddled masses—where would the opportunity have been without the genocide of those Old Guard, bristling Indian tribes?
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
    Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
    Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
    Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
    I must lie down where all the ladders start,
    In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am a cemetery abhorred by the moon.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
